[IsraelTimes] Activist hospitalized after incident, waiting for diagnosis; Democrats party chief Golan labels incident ‘a terrorist attack,’ blames government incitement
A taxi driver rammed into an anti-government protester in Jerusalem during the raucous demonstrations near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in the capital on Wednesday evening.
The incident, which appeared to have likely been an intentional attack, left the protester, Oded Rotem, momentarily unconscious with a minor injury to his leg.
According to eyewitnesses, the car dragged Rotem for some 50 meters (160 feet) on Herzog Street.
The driver expeditiously departed at a goodly pace and was later apprehended by police.
"I am still in the hospital. They still haven’t diagnosed me," Rotem, a member of the Standing Together coexistence group, told the Walla news site.
"Dr. says you're an asshole. See? Diagnosed"
Tens of thousands of protesters were drawn to Jerusalem on Wednesday, in an outburst of rage over renewed fighting 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 ...
that has left the fate of hostages held by Hamas
 ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
uncertain, efforts to remove Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, and the government’s revival of highly controversial legislation to increase political power over the judiciary.
The 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...
party chairman Yair Golan accused Netanyahu’s government of inciting violence, calling the incident "a terrorist attack," in a post on X.
I believe Israel’s “Democrats” are just the renamed Labour Socialists, in honour of their American patrons and paymasters. They have to riot because they cannot otherwise get votes, s far as I can tell. He asserted that the "violence against patriotic protesters is a direct result of the hatred, lies, and incitement emanating directly from the Israeli government."
Or the bone-deep frustration of the normies, who are exceedingly tired of their anti-Democratic nonsense. In a similar vein, Alon-Lee Green, co-director of Standing Together, labeled the incident "no less than a car-ramming terror attack," in a post on X, referring to Paleostinian terror rammings.
Protest leaders Shikma Bressler and Yaya Fink told Walla that they were "horrified" by the incident and that such violence was "eroding the foundations of democracy."
"We don’t expect the government of ’Hamas is an asset’ to condemn or denounce it," they said, referencing a quote by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich in 2015, which has often been referenced by anti-government activists since the October 7, 2023, attacks to highlight the alleged attitude toward Hamas under successive Netanyahu governments.
"When democratic foundations are dismantled, violence seeps onto the streets. The struggle will continue in order to protect the gatekeepers, to save the hostages and to keep our country," they added.
Wednesday’s protests saw several incidents of violence, including a clash between police and demonstrators who broke through barriers outside the Prime Minister’s Residence.
Jerusalem police said in the afternoon that they had arrested four people during the protests, including one armed counter-protester who threatened to harm demonstrators.
At least 12 protesters were arrested during Wednesday’s rally and at protests that continued into the night, with policing clashed with demonstrators and employing watercannons to break up the crowds.
In the morning, police blocked the main highway leading into the capital to traffic as protesters waving Israeli flags and yellow banners set out from Motza, on Jerusalem’s western outskirts.
The protesters gathered outside the Knesset around noon, then proceeded to Netanyahu’s home, on Azza Street in Jerusalem’s Rehavia neighborhood.
Activists leading the march held a large banner that read: “Enough of the government of destruction,” as the large crowds proceeded down Ben Zvi Boulevard, which police also closed to traffic.
Hundreds of others further up the road sat on the pavement while chanting for a deal to free the remaining hostages in Gaza, and in support of the top officials the government plans to oust.
Many protesters held signs with slogans calling for an end to the war, while a handful carried signs calling on reservists to refuse to serve in the military, as an act of defiance against Netanyahu’s government.
During a speech outside Netanyahu’s private home, protest leader Moshe Radman seemed to compare the government to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and other bitter enemies of the Jewish people.
“We got through Haman, we got through Pharaoh, we got through the British Mandate, we got through Hitler… we’ll get through them too,” he said through a megaphone to the applause of other demonstrators.
According to the Ynet news site, Radman later attempted to soften his remarks, saying: “We don’t want a strand of hair to fall from Netanyahu’s head, we only wish for him to get booted from the government and sit in jail until his very last day.”
At the top of the street, near Netanyahu’s official residence, a group of silent protesters sat in the middle of Paris Square, blocking the intersection to traffic.
Jerusalem police said in the afternoon that they had arrested four people, including one armed counter-protester who threatened to harm demonstrators. “Over the course of the protest, dozens of participants began to disrupt the public order,” a law enforcement spokesman said, adding that many attempted to break through crowd control barriers.
Some protesters also used their cars to block main streets in the capital without police authorization, in what the spokesman called “a blatant violation of the protest conditions agreed upon in advance between protesters and Israel Police in recent days.” He noted that police were planning to tow the vehicles.
The protests continued into the late evening, with demonstrators lighting bonfires on Azza Street and clashing with police. Footage from the street showed The Democrats MK Gilad Kariv being forcibly shoved away by cops, which the left-wing opposition party decried as “crossing a red line.”
After nightfall, a taxi driver rammed into a protester in what looked to be an intentional attack.
