WATCH police engage in brawl as hundreds of protesters vent anger at Netanyahu in Tel Aviv

7 Oct, 2020 06:59

 

Israelis flocked to the streets to decry the government's ban on mass demonstrations, which they see as a distraction from PM Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial. The noisy gathering ended up in scuffles with police.

 

The crowd, numbering hundreds, amassed in Tel Aviv when night fell on Tuesday, carrying homemade placards that demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Others were seen waving flags and chanting slogans in unison.

 

At some point, the demonstration became chaotic although police began to get things under control. Officers – some armed, some wearing riot gear – didn't deploy any crowd control measures but used their hands to push protesters away.

 

Demonstrators flocked to the streets in defiance of new measures passed last week, which prohibit Israelis from traveling more than a kilometer from where they live to protest – and limit rallies to socially-distanced groups of up to 20 people.

 

Critics see the ban as an infringement of freedom of speech and a smokescreen to deflect public attention from Netanyahu. The long-serving prime minister, who is on trial for alleged bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, denies any wrongdoing.

 

Protesters believe Netanyahu is using the crisis in order to remain in power. "We are afraid that he is trying to create a civil war between us. He certainly does increase the hatred between Israelis," a local man explained to Ruptly video agency.

 

Another one had accused the PM – or Bibi, as he came to be known among Israelis – of "stealing our democracy." "He is a thief and he is a criminal," the protester insisted.

 

The protest action comes amid a strict coronavirus lockdown that saw Israel shut down much of its economy and mandated people to stay indoors whenever possible in a bid to contain a surge in Covid-19 infections. The Jewish state has recorded over 277,000 cases and close to 1,800 fatalities.

Over 6000 Scientists, Doctors Sign Anti-lockdown Petition

2 mins ago October 7th 2020, 4:16 am

 

Over six thousand scientists and doctors have signed a petition against coronavirus lockdown measures, urging that those not in the at risk category should be able to get on with their lives as normal, and that lockdown rules in both the US and UK are causing ‘irreparable damage’.

 

Those who have signed include professors from the world’s leading universities. Oxford University professor Dr Sunetra Gupta was one of the authors of the open letter that was sent with the petition, along with Harvard University’s Dr Martin Kulldorff and Stanford’s Dr Jay Bhattacharya.

 

It declares that social distancing and mask mandates are causing ‘damaging physical and mental health impacts.’

 

The petition, dubbed the Great Barrington Declaration after the town in Massachusetts where it was written, has been signed by close to 54,000 members of the public at time of writing, as well as over 2600 medical and public health scientists and around 3500 medical practitioners.

 

“Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal,” it notes, adding “Keeping these [lockdown] measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.”

 

“Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health,” the declaration also declares.

 

It continues, “The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular [heart] disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden.”

 

“Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice,” the declaration adds…
