These are translations of items from the Hebrew Slippery Slope blog, which documents the decline of Israeli democracy. The Slope collects isolated incidents, which together draw the picture of a crumbling democracy – violation of human rights, bad governance, corruption, and police brutality. The various news media report these incidents; we connect the dots.
Translations were provided by a team of volunteers. Links in the posts often point only to the original Hebrew sources, unless an equivalent English source is available. Read more
