Proud of my friends on the streets in Israel, where mass demonstrations have reached a Tahrir Square moment last night.

Israelis took to the streets 12 weeks in a row to prevent a judicial overhaul that would transform Israel into the next Poland/Hungary.

Last night, Netanyahu fired his defense minister who called for delaying the overhaul. All over the country, 100,000s of people stepped out at 10pm to protest. Today, a general strike and increasing prospects of the gov backing down 👌 🤞

@Mor yes...are they including Arabs and Palestinians affected by the Netanyahu govt do you know? I am not there but i believe a unity protest would be very meaningful of all peaceful peoples who believe in democracy. That might sound hokey but i have friends on both sides there are definitely people who can unify over this. and in the outcome we need a Justice first and Human Life first govt. Sorry if this sounds proscriptive but do you know much about it?

@gvelez17 unfortunately these protests did not widely include the Arab and Palestinians. Broad popular movements in Israel are not yet able to address the challenges of the occpuation, sadly.

@Mor yeah, i think for real justice & democracy that is key. Maybe working together will help some, i have done small bits of work with Gaza SkyGeeks folks, would like to do more - if there were more partnerships maybe then it would be more like "hey not my colleague!"

Anyway that is me spitballing from here

But i do think human life being equal is fundamental value we need
