Taking it to the Streets: The Current Protest Movement in Israel – Sunday, August 16 – 12:00 pm

Dissatisfied with the Knesset’s (particularly PM Netanyahu’s) response to the pandemic, thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets in protest along with those who have already been calling on Netanyahu to resign as PM because of his indictment.
In this informative webinar, Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC) will discuss the causes of the current protest, its key players, and how the police force and Netanyahu’s supporters have responded. We will debate what this protest means for Israelis and Diaspora Jews. Panelists will include Ha’aretz journalist Judy Maltz, and political activist and member of the current protest movement, Dani Danieli, who will discuss their perspectives on the demonstrations. We will conclude with IRAC’s analysis of the intersection between the protests and our issues.
