Protesters hold muted march in Jerusalem

When the speeches at a protest in Jerusalem against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government’s planned judicial overhaul came to an end, singers performed quiet songs.

“We’re trying to find a way to honor and give respect,” said a protest organizer. “We are represented here by all sides of the political spectrum.”

After singing Hatikva, the crowds began dispersing, and protest organizers moved the protesters toward Azza Road, closer to Netanyahu’s house.

Protesters first marched quietly down the side streets of Rechavia, and soon began calling, whistling, and chanting for democracy.

“We won’t agree to a nation without legal safeguards,” chanted the crowd, standing in the middle of Azza Road, a major city street.
