1) Enough already with these old school, stereotypical accusations. Right wing supporters almost exclusively rely on name calling-the left are arrogant, the left are liars, the left are../

2) anti Zionist, the left want to steal the election from us, the left are against judicial reform because it serves their interests to charge right wing politicians with fake crimes etc. But when asked for examples where are the data and sources to back up the accusations?../

3) What is the average income/age/education of the protesters that leads anyone to declare that they are all ashkenazi elitists (and btw, it is completely arrogant and demeaning to the many mizrachi protesters to assume they are less capable of knowing right from wrong .../

4) or to see through Netanyahu’s farce).
If the protests are about replacing the government, why didn’t they start when the election results were announced or with any previous #Netanyahu victory? .../

11) never had the guts to do? China didn’t wait for the protests to weaken israel to broker a deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran, they waited until an extremist, virulently anti Arab government came into power because a common enemy is the one thing they had to work with. .../

12) You want hypocrisy? Preaching democracy in the name of reforms to our legal system that would put the law in the hands of a coalition that has more collective indictments than it has women. .../

13) The whole moral concern about fixing the legal system to make it fair is a load of crap as long as it discards criminal actions of the country’s most powerful politicians to enable right wing theocracy. That is the epitome of #Hypocrisy . ...End
