Hundreds protest in Haifa against Netanyahu incoming government’s laws

About 700 participants blocked roads near the center of Horev, marched with burning torches and chanted against the initiatives of Likud and its partners.

The protesters blocked roads near Horev Center, carrying torches and banners reading “The [judicial] override clause will hurt you” and “Let’s stay a democracy.”

Former Zionist Regime’s War Minister Moshe (“Bogie”) Ya’alon participated in the march, and called the incoming government “criminal,” saying that “Netanyahu dragged us to five elections and subjugated the nation’s interests to his personal benefit.

He has established a racist, corrupt, and homophobic government in order to flee justice.”

He added that “Defendant Netanyahu is willing to give the Haredi parties what they never dreamed of as long as he escapes trial, and the country be damned.”

Fifty-six-year-old protester Ronen Sima from Shimshit told Haaretz that “I’m usually in the silent majority, but I think that this time it’s too much. This is a crossing of all red lines, regardless of my political opinion.”

Rafi Filter (75) of Beit Nehemiah, added that he fears for democracy, and said that the members of Netanyahu’s coalition have rendered so-called democratic red lines, as he put them, flexible. “Morals are very absolute. They have broken all the rules of morality.”

Katy Roisman, 65 from Tel Aviv, said that she came to protest for her grandchildren. “Judaism in Israel has become managed by a Messianic minority. I am protesting the fact that those who have barely served in the military are going to send our children to be cannon fodder while their children are already raising families.”
