Although the purpose of the protest is right, I can not take part in the demonstrations. The reason: it cancels the choice of millions in Netanyahu, and seizes a ride sponsored by the Corona over an election result that does not "come" well

      When we were little and did not like anything as a group, we liked to come out with a declaration: "Demonstration, no matter what, do not want the ... in the country." The base remained the same and the three points were replaced each time by a different theme, but unfortunately it did not help so much, no one took us seriously.

      We will jump into the summer of 2020. Hot, and the corona for its severe economic consequences has brought something more permanent into our lives - the demonstrations. Almost every evening there is a demonstration, certainly on Saturday night: on the bridges, in the squares and especially in front of the Prime Minister's House. On the face of it, the purpose of the demonstrations is right. There is real distress, people are losing their sources of livelihood, associations are collapsing, the infected curve is not straightening, people are not seeing the horizon. The corona has hurt almost everyone, anyone who is hurt in one way or another should take to the streets and demonstrate, so how is it that I am not connecting to this just struggle?

      As a peripheral, southern, this lack of connection goes far back. Every time I leave Netivot in the direction of the center of the country, I feel that I have to leave with a passport, at the interchange in Ashdod there will be a border crossing and there they will sign it for me. So much so that it is not connected. So much so that I feel like "I'm not being counted." Dear demonstrators, even in these demonstrations you do not take me into account.

      I'm right. Although I did not vote for Bibi, and I have a lot to say about his conduct before the corona, and certainly since it broke into our lives, but still. These demonstrations of yours, have long been not "about the pain of anyone injured by the corona in any way." The demonstrators are using one of the most democratic tools in the most undemocratic way possible. Maybe in the signs you ask Bibi to resign as the one responsible for the omission, but in the subtext you actually cancel the choice of millions because they believed in him and chose him. An open secret is that many (if not the majority) in the periphery voted for the Likud and Bibi.

      The bridge protest is gaining momentum, and is receiving surprising support. Just do not call them nice

      From the outside it looks like I came to a demonstration on another planet. Demonstrations in Balfour (Photo: Jonathan Zindel, Flash 90)

      In your demand, you catch a ride on the corona crisis, when in fact you are protesting an election result that does not "come" to you well, and that you are trying to correct in a democratic way, of course - a demonstration.

      You lost me as a supporter of the demonstration, even though her idea is right, for two reasons: The first is in joining bodies that have nothing to do with the issue for which you went out to demonstrate (Corona and its consequences, remember?). The second reason is the way you chose to go out and demonstrate. For my part (and not only), the demonstration has long since looked like a demonstration, except for the signs (some of them particularly creative). It seems like I came to some party in the Youth City or the Midburn Festival and there are exhibits, some of which hurt the values ​​that entire publics in the nation have grown up on. So what's the wonder I did not connect, and that from the outside it looks like I came to a demonstration on another planet?

      As much as you are right in the struggle at its core, and like the demonstrations we did as children, this struggle will not succeed either. A struggle of 20,000 demonstrators or many more, which does not respect the choice of half the people and does not care to connect another half of the people to it, if not more (the half that does not live in the state of Tel Aviv) will never seem detached and will not succeed.
