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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
