‘It’s my country, what am I supposed to do?’
A woman who identifies herself as Tenat says she came out to the protest after pulling a double shift at Schneider Children’s Medical Center, where she works as a nurse, because “It’s my country, what am I supposed to do?”
She addresses the incident of police brutality which sparked the protest, and remarks: “Tomorrow it could be my brothers or my cousins.”
“It’s like we’re not a part of the country, it’s like we’re not worthy. It tires you, every day living like this,” she says.
The crowds continue to swell. The Ayalon highway heading north is opened to traffic.
