I’m slowly backing down. More important than protests, education, reorganization, and preparation are critical.  First off, I don’t see any possibility of alteration through public protests – What we seem to be getting is a dangerous further division that leads nowhere.  Secondly, I myself caught a cold even before the protests began on Saturday evening.  It was a reminder that I am a little too vulnerable to protest the way I did during the Vietnam war.    

I am not, however, deterred by BenGvir’s threats to take action against the protesters.  The more authoritative the government behaves, the greater the imperative to protest.
