where the people rose up and actually stopped Netanyahu from basically doing away with the power of the courts by "reforming" them?

Did that happen simply by an overwhelming number of citizens coming out to gather, march, and protest? Or was there something else behind the scenes going on? I'd like to know... because we're going to have start learning from people who've faced this before and stomped it out. This makes what we did in the Vietnam era look like small potatoes.
