Among the thousands of demonstrators who came out this morning (Monday) to protest against the legal revolution were also many children, who expressed concern about its consequences for their future.

"There are laws we don't agree with because it destroys the country and hurts people," said Shai Goldman, a nine-year-old from Holon who came to the demonstration in Tel Aviv with his mother and older brother.

"These are laws with which you can do bad things. I'm a little worried. I want to live in Israel when I grow up."

Noa, 14 years old, came from Binyamina with five friends to the demonstration from Tel Aviv, and from there continued to Jerusalem.

"I read a lot about the reform and my parents explained a little to me. I went to a home club where a law professor spoke. I understood that the reform would harm the separation of powers and democracy. My rights will not be taken care of. The country is on its way to becoming a dictatorship. I want to tell the government that people care and that I want to grow up in a country where everything can be done And let them take care of me."

Jay, 15 years old, came to the demonstration from Givat Ada.

"I am trans, gay - if they pass laws I will be the most affected. And of course this is not stable for the country. It is unlikely that criminals will have power. It is impossible to manage the law and the country together. I am afraid of the future here, they want to take the power away from the High Court."
