Hundreds of protesters descend on Netanyahu’s vacation site: ‘He won’t relax at our expense’

Hundreds of protesters converge at the entrance to Moshav Ramot, near the Sea of Galilee, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is beginning a new vacation — a day later than originally planned, after it was pushed off yesterday for the premier to hold a series of meetings with top security brass.

The anti-Netanyahu protesters wave Israel flags and don shirts with pro-democracy slogans urging resistance against the government’s judicial overhaul, as the premier’s convoy arrives.

Some protesters did not wait and held a protest flyby over the moshav and over the Sea of Galilee this morning, with signs slamming Netanyahu as a “liar.”

“The lying, divisive and inciting tyrant is cooperating with messianic enemies from within,” protest organizers say in a statement. “The criminal defendant won’t relax and enjoy life’s pleasures at our expense while he’s destroying our country.”

Last week, Netanyahu’s previous vacation in the Golan community of Neve Ativ was also accompanied by protests. Police initially did not allow the demonstrators into the community, which prompted them to form a tent encampment nearby.
