Israel has a body of Basic Laws, and Barak has declared that body to represent a Constitution. The Supreme Court is doing a good job determining where a law contradicts a Basic Law, and invalidating that law because of a contradiction. E.g. Surrogacy law was returned to the legislative — not since it was "unreasonable", but because it was unequal. (The legislative fixed the law to include homosexuals, and the law passed.) The "unreasonableness" clause is not the only tool SC has at their disposal. From now on, they can use the other tools — just not "we find this unreasonable". > are disingenuous to outright misleading HN Guidelines: "Assume good faith." |

That's an over simplistic representation, which you may have done in good faith. The coalition MPs are making it very hard to assume that they spread this narrative in good faith.
The notion of Reasonability or Reasonableness is a well established legal principal [1]
