Tens of Thousands Attend ANTI-NETANYAHU Rally in Tel Aviv



Tens of thousands of Israelis are gathering at a Tel Aviv square under the banner "Israel wants change" and calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be replaced in March 17 national elections.

Saturday night's rally at Rabin Square is the highest profile demonstration yet in the run-up to the election. It is organized by a non-profit organization seeking to change Israel's priorities and refocus on health, education, housing and the country's cost of living. Though not officially endorsed by any political party, it drew mostly supporters of leftist and centrist parties.

The rally's keynote speaker is former Mossad chief Meir Dagan who recently slammed Netanyahu's conduct and called him "the person who has caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel."

8. It's antisemitic to be an antiZionist AND it's antisemitic to be a Zionist?

6. How does that relate to this article, which does not use the word 'Zionist' at all?

"The rally's keynote speaker is former Mossad chief Meir Dagan who recently slammed Netanyahu's conduct and called him "the person who has caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel.""

Netanyahu, imo, has served the people of Israel poorly and his attack upon the President of the United States from the 'well of the House' did great harm to his country and the citizens he claims to represent.

I wish the State of Israel well and fervently hope the voters choose to vote him out of office.

Israeli's have an opportunity to get rid of this war mongering neocon once and for all.
