That is what I was afraid of. That is the definition of insanity.
You are missing an important point: The Israeli legislature has 120 seats. In order to form a government one needs 61 votes. No party has anything close to that, so a coalition government needs to be formed, any government and any law that needs to pass is inherently based on negotiations and compromise. Furthermore, recent events have shown (not for the first time) that even when the coalition supports certain legislation, they have to answer to the public at the ballot (which can occur more often than every four years, if the government is toppled by the legislature. As a matter of fact few, if any, governments in Israel served full terms), and are therefore sensitive to the public.
OTOH, the Supreme Court has assumed powers that were never granted to it. It furthermore deemed "Basic Laws" a quasi-constitution (despite the fact that there is no legal threshold differentiating a "basic law" from any other law, other than the title), and used them to strike down other legislation (even though at the time of discussions over the enactment of said "basic law" it was claimed that it doesn't give the court any authority to strike down laws), yet when it suits their agenda, they take the liberty to strike down also "basic laws". Just imagine the SCOTUS striking down a constitutional amendment.
