Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Israeli cities for the ninth straight week on Saturday to fight a government plan to overhaul the country's court system.

Saturday night's demonstrations in Tel Aviv and other locations continued peacefully, unlike protests earlier this week that descended into violent clashes with police.

"I came to demonstrate against the regime revolution, which the Israeli government forced upon us," 53-year-old history teacher Ronen Cohen told Reuters. "I hope that this huge demonstration will effect and prove that we are not going to give up." The marches have attracted huge crowds on a weekly basis since early January, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government took aim at the Supreme Court.

The protesters oppose legislation that Netanyahu and his right-wing and religious allies hope to pass that would limit the Supreme Court's powers to rule against the legislature and the executive, while giving lawmakers decisive powers in appointing judges.

Bunch of cry babies on both sides

There’s always the ones who come just to make trouble and try to make the peaceful protesters look bad.

.netanyahu You are at the brink of a Civil War in Israel 🇮🇱 Your people are much better educated now🔜more intelligence and a fairer view of the World. The days of Sharon and Beguin are over and to roll over the Hebrews hard earned legal institutions and of Palestine is suicidal

The Jews be Jewing again...

Why didn´t they open fire? They would have done that if it was Palestinians.

The Jews are God's chosen people. I pray for Israel. The world is going to come against them. Armageddon.

No democracy, No Israel.

After many years of Israel occupation to Palestine and the violation of international laws, would anyone believe that Zionists have judicial integrity?!

Same shit nayibbukele

Anarchy ! Revolution !

Israel is now rallying for its democracy.

Here in America the judges -at least the conservatives ones- EXECUTE the law, they don’t make it or have opinions on it leaning right or left. It’s the dems that want to pack it to make it political.

Too bad they don't have the United States behind them... as they fight to save their democracy.

For those lost in the sea of antisemitic posts on this issue. This protest is against a bill that would allow the Kessnet (Parliment, Congress) to overrule the judiciary by a bare minimum vote; making 1 of the 3 branches limited in keeping the balance of power even.

dbchirpy Israel should have never allowed Bibi to return. But they did. And same folks who brought him back, should not be surprised when support and backing of Israel, diminishes. ap afp TimesofIsrael Jerusalem_Post

Thugs practice democracy.

Time to wrap it up guys, the Zionist Experiment has been a catastrophic failure.

The Zionists are finally protesting against the Genocidal Zionist Regime.

Bill enjoys wide support. Fakenews never tells what the 'reforms' are just what constitution prescribe, sensible observers know these help stem tyranny thru unelected bureaucracies, Israel so called deep state, the evil we're fighting here in in our republic as well.
