We just received the following letter & videos from our friend Vered Lev Keenan, & feel that this information needs to be made more public in this country:<\/p>\n

Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

For Twenty Nine weeks hundreds of thousands of Israelis are fighting to\u00a0stop the anti-democratic legislation that the most extremist Israeli government initiated. The government under Netanyahu is doing anything it can to intensify the split in our society using violent\u00a0forces against the protesters and encouraging their supporters to use violence. We, the protesting side against the juridical reform, continue to be non violent sticking to civil disobedience only. Next week we face a vote for canceling the legal\u00a0standard of reasonableness. This vote is only the first move the government makes towards dictatorship. Canceling the legal\u00a0standard of reasonableness\u00a0will help\u00a0the\u00a0government\u00a0to reduce the ways in which the Supreme Court can overrule the\u00a0government. On Tuesday the leaders of the protest, among them Shikma Bressler, a professor of Physics from Weizmann Institute, an amazing\u00a0woman, began to march last Tuesday from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem with more than 50,000 people from all over the country. Every hour more people join them. They are camping outdoors receiving supplies of food\u00a0and water from the people who live nearby. Tonight they will arrive at the Knesset, the Israeli Parliament in Jerusalem. More and more people will join them during Sunday and Monday. I attach\u00a0two videos from the march.<\/div>\n
Best Wishes,<\/div>\n
