@Ha_Matar @972mag @YousefMunayyer That's the lesson, for example, from the salt march -- Indians criticized that target (salt) in similar ways, but once the majority of society was mobilized against the British, it did not stop at salt. The Israeli protests have a potential because of a similar reason.

@Ha_Matar @972mag @YousefMunayyer You draw a line in the sand and say "this side is light (democracy), that side is darkness (dictatorship), now which side are you on?" Of course this sentence is an invented story, but every story is invented. The point is it's a useful story in order to mobilize society.
