Veteran reporter says she’s never seen protests with this kind of intensity and commitment in the decades she’s been covering France.
Watch the union leader clear the fog that the Politico shlub from some think tank literally called “Friends of Europe.” It’s a beautiful thing.
Shit is really ratcheting up.
And, apparently in Israel too! Damn, didn’t know a thing about that…
Fucking Twitter sucks so bad it’s unbelievable. The trending topics are a complete and utter farce, but have been for years and years now.
me neither, what are the protests about? pension reform or something more related to the occupation
Israel's far-right government is making moves to institute more authoritarian policies in the field of the judiciary system. But it's not in the territories of de jure Palestine, but domestically as well, so libs actually care this time.
Wait what! You're going to do fascism to us also! Unfair
Bibi wants to overhall the judiciary in order to be able to more fully exert the power of the executive over this. In the context of Israeli politics, this is basically him pushing for or allowing his more religiously zealot allies to go more mask-off fascist instead of keeping the façade of a liberally authoritarian judiciary.
In Israel, Bibi wants to control the judiciary. Ik bouregois "separation of powers" but fascist Zionists think the judiciary is leftist or something.
occupation then. "we want a court that will be even less of a check on our cruelty and genocide"
Also Bibi is facing several corruption charges and it's only him being prime minister that is preventing his prosecution. He's also trying to save his own skin.
“Israel was filled with surreal images Sunday night as thousands of people lit bonfires and gathered to protest in the streets against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his planned judicial overhaul.
On Monday morning, those dramatic scenes were replaced by another: of packed trains and crowded roads as protesters convened on Jerusalem in an effort to sustain pressure on Netanyahu as his governing coalition appeared to teeter over the divisive judiciary legislation.
Israel’s national labor union announced a general strike for Monday. Businesses and many schools were closed; universities canceled classes; and departures were grounded at Ben-Gurion Airport.”

Edited to add more about protest in Netanyahoo’s house and other politicians:
“ Around a thousand protesters gathered on Azza Street in Jerusalem, where Netanyahu's official residence is located. Protesters breached through security measures, before they were stopped. After clashes erupted between police forces and protesters near Netanyahu's residence, the police used a water cannon to push protesters back.
Thousands of protesters marched towards the Knesset and protested in front of it, while the discussion about the judicial selection bill was still underway. The discussion was later postponed.
The protesters lit a bonfire in front of the Knesset, while the police did not attempt to disperse the protest.
In Modi'in protesters gathered at Shilat junction and blocked traffic there. Clashes developed between protesters and supporters of the reforms, including the use of pepper spray.
Around 2,500 protesters swarmed the city of Haifa, blocking traffic on Horev junction, while 2,000 protesters gathered in Beersheba and lit a fire in the middle of the junction at the city's entrance, Israeli media outlets reported.
A man was arrested on suspicion of running over a protester during a demonstration at the Karkur intersection on Highway 65, early on Monday morning. The protester was lightly injured and was taken to Hillel Yaffe Hospital in Hadera.
Protests at politician's houses Around 300 people gathered outside Gallant's home to express support to the recently fired politician, Ynet reported. On Sunday morning, reservists from Brothers in Arms protested near National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's home in Kiryat Arba.
The protestors put up giant signs reading "stop! Border ahead, entry to a dictatorship" and "it's too big for you" with a drawing of Ben-Gvir inside a military boot. The protesters also blocked the road at the entrance to Kiryat Arba. Two protesters were arrested after police said they tried to break into Ben-Gvir's house.
