| [IsraelTimes] Over 100,000 rally in city, days before key hearings on overhaul’s reasonableness law; woman injured as vehicle hits protesters blocking Ayalon Highway Movement for Quality Government in Israel (MQG) is this cycle’s version of V15 (for Victory 15, 2015 being the last election Bibi won against the will of a Democratic president), both names being astroturf fig leaves for its true identity as the Israeli branch of the Washington, DC-based OneVoice Movement founded by Progressive multi-billionaire Daniel Lubetzky in 2002 as an international “grassroots” front of his PeaceWorks Foundation to drive Israel to fulfill his vision for the region without him bothering to become a citizen. The US State Department gave V15 millions of dollars under President Obama, and more in recent years. Over a hundred thousand protesters rallied for the 36th straight week Saturday against the coalition’s judicial overhaul legislation, days ahead of a key showdown at the Supreme Court next week. Some 118,000 demonstrators gathered for the main protest at Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv, Channel 13 reported, citing data from the CrowdSolutions firm. Smaller rallies attracted thousands in other cities and intersections across the country. After the demonstration, some protesters blocked the Ayalon Highway’s southbound lanes.Of course they did — there is a script for these things, and they followed it slavishly, as the rest of this article details. Reading on is a sure cure for low blood pressure... A woman was lightly hurt when a driver drove into a group of protesters on the highway. A video showed several people arguing with protesters on the highway, before a car accelerated into the demonstrators, knocking several over before stopping as other demonstrators chased after it.Police detained the driver. |

| #1 Protest organizers said in response to Netanyahu’s condemnation: "The one leading Israel to a dark dictatorship, who crushed the economy and the people’s army, who established a machinery of venom and hate that is tearing up the nation, should not talk about incitement." Talk about psychotic hate. |
