Coalition Chairman Miki Zohar railed on Saturday night against the health hazard posed by the mass demonstrations taking place in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, particularly in view of the renewal of restrictions on public life spurred by the spike in coronavirus infection.
Zohar, who also serves as the chairman of the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud faction of the Knesset, tweeted: “To approve mass demonstrations that pose a health risk to all Israeli citizens on the one hand and to close many businesses that adhere to the [COVID-19] guidelines on the other, is absurd. The government must decide: Open up the whole economy, including mass demonstrations full of hatred, or immediately stop these sponsored demonstrations, just as it decided to close the businesses.”
Zohar’s comments came after police were forced to use water canons to disperse some 1,500 protesters near the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem, and tear gas to break up a larger rally in Tel Aviv. These were the latest in a series of violent demonstrations against Netanyahu and his government’s handling of the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Note: these protestors were hosed down with WATER. Chareidi protestors get doused in “boash”, skunk juice. Or strongly colored water, that goes inside the homes of the local residents. So no complaints, you lefties. Another example of mistreatment of Chareidim.
Agreed. And what about all those people that missed their doctors appointment or couldn’t take their medication because of the blocked streets?
And Arab protesters get shot.
What health hazard? Nothing happened to the thousands who protested a few week ago in Tel Aviv without masks and no social distancing. The only way to stop the govt’s control and enforcing their stupidity should be mass protests. That’s the only language they understand since they came to power in 1948.
