Police bar weekly Tel Aviv protest from Kaplan-Begin junction, citing recent low turnout

The endless anti-democratic, anti-Bibi protest plans to rant against several subjects instead of the usual just one. The reason is the temper tantrum is the hope of returning the Socialists to power as they used to be for the first forty years or so, not whatever they happen to be shouting about that week. So ld-fashioned and boring. [IsraelTimes] Organizers of anti-government rally vow to fight move, say numbers were down due to Home Front Command rules, with Saturday set to host first major demos since limitations lifted
Police have informed anti-government protesters they will not be allowed to hold their regular Saturday night protest on the intersection of Kaplan Street and Begin Road in Tel Aviv, Hebrew media outlets reported on Thursday.
The spot was meant to host, this coming Saturday, its first rally since the Israel Defense Forces lifted limitations on gatherings in central Israel in light of the ceasefire in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

police asserted that recent rallies have been too small to justify blocking the key intersection, and are demanding that the protest be relocated a short distance away from the junction, near IDF Headquarters’ Begin Gate.
"We note that a request was submitted to hold a protest with the participation of 50,000 protesters. However,

the experience of the past weeks shows that in reality, a significantly smaller amount arrived than what the organizers had presented," police said in a statement in response to the reports, as quoted by Hebrew media outlets.
Police said it made the decision to balance the right to protest with the need to limit the impact on routine life. They said they will reassess the matter if there is a large number of participants at the protest.
Organizers have said the reason for the smaller turnout was the Home Front Command limitations, and have vowed to fight the decision.
"The police have not learned a thing — when it tries to harm the right to protest of the Israeli public, it only justifies our struggle. Israel won’t be a dictatorship, and the police will not be a political militia for the minister," organizers wrote on X, referencing National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
It said the protest would be held at Kaplan at 6:30 p.m.
Ben Gvir has been accused by critics of illegitimately interfering in police operations regarding anti-government protests, closely involving himself in policing the demonstrations in an attempt to repress them and pressuring police to use tougher methods of crowd dispersal.
MK Naama Lazimi of the left-wing Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people , white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
…all true in America. But the Israeli version is just the renamed labour socialists giving a nod to their American political sponsors… party also said that the police was acting under the orders of Ben Gvir to oppress the protest movement.
"Instead of doing their work to fight serious crime on the streets, they are busy persecuting protesters to please nefarious political interests. It won’t work for them — the protest will only get stronger," she said.
MK Gilad Kariv, also from the Democrats, said the police’s reasoning was just an excuse, as protesters were simply respecting IDF Home Front Command rules by not showing up in the masses.
"Next Saturday, the public will show the police and the minister in charge of it that it is not a handful, but the masses," he said.
Weekly protests over the past year have focused on pressuring the government to do more to reach a deal to free hostages held by Hamas
 ..a regional Iranian catspaw,...
since its October 7 massacre. It is believed that 96 of the 251 hostages kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, including the bodies of at least 34 confirmed dead by the IDF.
The focus of protests on new bills advanced by the government comes as members of Netanyahu’s coalition increasingly call for the sacking of the attorney general and to resume the government’s judicial overhaul program aimed at curbing the power of the High Court of Justice.
The overhaul legislation sparked mass, weekly protests throughout 2023, up until Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
Furthermore, opposition activists and politicians have criticized recent legislative initiatives to grant the government oversight over television ratings data and privatize the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation and Army Radio, saying that they are aimed at eroding press freedoms.
Critics, including the Foreign Press Association and the Union of Journalists in Israel, have accused the government of undermining democracy, while the bills’ backers argue that their legislation would liberalize the media market and increase competition.
