I’m not at the demonstration. I’m exhausted and in bed. But if I had any energy left, I’d be there. Everyone I know is there. The speech of Ami Eshed, who was previously ousted from his role as police chief by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai for being too lenient in the protests, was too much to ignore. The highway on Kaplan St. is shut down, and there are too many people to close it down. A wonderful display of protest. Except that there are ambulances stuck in that block. The police are using horses, and all the forces they didn’t use when Ami Eshed was in charge. Clearly the government wasn’t expecting this kind of reaction from the public.
