What's going on in Israel has me puzzled. I participated in antiwar protests during the Vietnam War years. I saw that only a small percentage of people are willing to get off the couch, go outside, go to a protest, and risk unpleasant police interactions.
The population of Israel is just under 10 million. For hundreds of thousands of people to protest in the streets is HUGE. Is Netanyahu paying any attention? His response, "Don't preach to me," isn't a valid response. It's the kind of thing an angry parent might say when they run out of ammunition and lean back on their inherent authority. The people protesting are not children and they deserve an adult response.
