Former prime minister Ehud Barak called for civil disobedience at an anti-judicial protest on Motzei Shabbos.

“We’ll win because we have no other country and have no other way,” Barak said at a protest in Haifa.

“But we haven’t won the battle yet…we must intensify the protest and end the negotiations immediately.”

“For this purpose, we must increase the protests and move into civil disobedience. The script for civil disobedience has already been written by Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and others. I call on the citizens of Israel to prepare to act, and when the call comes – to respond to it. We will fight and we’re not afraid of anyone or anything.”

In March, Barak and former justice minister Tzipi Livni besmirched the Israeli government, especially the Chareidi and Dati Leumi parties, on CNN.

In 2021, Barak and Yair Lapid instigated Jordanian King Abdullah II into refusing Israels request to enter its airspace so as not to allow Netanyahu to visit the United Arab Emirates prior to elections.

    More than civil “disobedience” he called for civil “rebellion”: “To this end, the protest must increase and move to civil rebellion. Nonviolent disobedience. The script for civil rebellion has already been written by Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and others. I call on all Israeli civilians to prepare to act, and when the call comes – answer it. We will fight, and we will not fear anyone or anything.”
    I think it’s time for the police to knock on his door.

    Bibi is weak and silly

    He should have ignored them and pass the reform bills quickly

    He brought all this on himself and worse onto the voters who trusted his word that THIS TIME WE WILL MAKE A COMPLETE REFORM OF THE CORRUPT JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

    Fool me once, shame on you
    Fool me twice, shame on me

    On one hand they claim to love Israel – on the other hand they are working to destroy it… – All in the name of “democracy”!

    The left believes in progressivism first and foremost. It is a religion to them. It makes perfect sense that, around the world, you hear calls for violence to overthrow what the voters wanted. Anytime you have Jews believe in something more than Torah, you can expect there will no limit to how far they will fall. Liberalism is a religion and is contrary to Torah. Because it is a religion, its believers are willing to die for the cause.

    Yes, there are some radical conservatives too, but they are the fridge and not mainstream. Just look at how many Republicans disavowed those involved in January 6th and how many liberals praised the rioters in the summer of 2020.

    That is the difference; the left makes the radical?s mainstream and the right, rightfully, pushes them away.

    Not a side not. Don’t forget that Ehud Barak tuned into a radical lefty, offering Arafat so much and now a Haaretz darling, no wonder he was linked with dirty Epstein…
