Protest against Netanyahu
When obedience turns into protest: Balfour protesters did everything they could to prevent Netanyahu from winning
The protesters knew that any image of a breach of guidelines would help portray them as undermining the struggle in Corona, and sought to prove otherwise.
Although a distance of two meters between demonstrators was not there, but also the attempt to take care of him became defiant: "not to give more weapons against the demonstrators"

In the first wave of the corona, when the prime minister tried to persuade the Israeli public to keep his distance, he used the phrase "love is distance".
Yesterday, the thousands of protesters against Netanyahu who gathered in Balfour tried to maintain the distance guidelines precisely in order to defy him.
In their behavior a new, no less strange expression could be imprinted: protest is obedience.
Two hours before the start of the demonstration, when thousands of cars made their way in convoys from around the country, there were several dozen activists in the vicinity of the prime minister's residence.
Some were busy marking paint and chalk on the road, to help protesters maintain the magic distance - two meters.

Near Paris Square,
Shira Netzer, 19
,
from Jerusalem
, approached two people who were too close to each other, and asked them to be careful to keep their distance.
She wore a mask and wore a glowing vest with the word "mother" written on it in several languages - a reminder of the previous incarnation of that vest, worn by protesters' mothers who have arrived in Balfour in recent months to reduce friction with police.
"We are doing a demonstration at a time that is problematic and unusual," Netzer said.
"In many ways we had to stay today. It's hard to keep the guidelines when there are pressure barriers that cause a crowd of people entering the demonstration, but we have to show that we are the responsible adult, that we want to keep the rules, and that we do not deny Corona. We did not enforce, we are not police, but We can ask for a good standing, so that there will be no more weapons against the demonstrators. "
"We need to show that we are the responsible adult."

According to the outline of the demonstrations of the police and ombudsman Avichai Mandelblit, in the area allotted for the demonstration in Paris Square up to two thousand demonstrators can enter while keeping the distance instructions. Last night, between the police checkpoints, there were undoubtedly more two feet of exhibits demonstrator.
still, it was a demonstration spacious ever known Paris Square for a long time. even the center is relatively crowded, you could pass for most of the evening easily and almost without contact with other protesters, the vast majority made sure to wear a mask.
the efforts of protesters to show that they Able to keep to the guidelines are not limited to pavilions and chalk markings on the road.Every few minutes the voice of Yishai Hadas, a veteran of the Petah Tikva protest that has adopted the name "Kreim Minister", is heard.

"Everyone is quiet," he asked.
The drums and singing stopped at once.
"Raise your hands to the sides, making sure you do not touch anyone. Turn around through the right shoulder, then through the left."
Hadas called on the police to keep the fences away to allow for distance, and mentioned that "we ask everyone to keep two meters and wear masks. This is important for our health as well, and also to not let the corrupt spin on us."
Thus, compliance with the guidelines became a form of protest - obedience was defiant.
However, despite the protesters' efforts, the police were more aggressive than before, and for the first time handed out fines for not keeping their distance, and not just for not wearing a mask.
Each report immediately led to a crowded crowd of protesters around the police.
Ironically, it got worse precisely when the demonstration had already begun to disperse, leaving fewer protesters in place.
Mario, 66, from Kadima-Zoran
, leaned against a silver car on Ramban Street. He was standing on the edge of the demonstration, in the most spacious area that allowed him to keep a great distance from other demonstrators. , The road took him five hours.It was precisely the attempt to prevent the demonstrations that brought him here.

"It seems that Netanyahu's level of concern about the demonstrations has risen," he said, referring to the restrictions imposed last week.
"He just draws attention to the fact that there are 7,000 patients a day. Instead of talking about the health failure, they talk about this demonstration. It's nonsense."
