One key difference is the ability of the Democracies to dissolve their governments and oust a leader. We have no such thing here, and are basically stuck with these idiots who gerrymander to assure their hold. Politics here has become a profession, and it was never intended to be that way. Politicians should not be able to enrich themselves through election. Our system has become horribly broken.

Netanyahu suspended the measure a couple of hours ago.

That Israel is a parliamentary democracy could be a good thing in this mess, especially because Netanyahu's coalition is so cobbled together. That said, the similarities to the US are striking, and Bibi is just as much a crook as TFG. I'm please the Israelis have taken to the streets with such force, now perhaps they won't vote for him ever again.
