One of our members was in Jerusalem on April 22 and joined a large crowd protesting the current Israeli government’s attempts to diminish the independence of the judiciary. Demonstrators with signs about Palestinian rights peacefully intermingled with those who were just waving the Israeli flag.
She wrote, “When we marched from near the president’s house to near Netanyahu’s house, the procession was many, many blocks long. There was a big white sign that said ‘Democracy for All’ and another which proclaimed ‘Democracy for One Nation = Apartheid’. There was spirited drumming and chanting; we ended with beautiful peaceful song. It one of the best evenings I’ve ever spent in Jerusalem.”
Here are some photos of the event:
