Today is a fateful day for the state of israel The Supreme Court meets in full composition (15 judges) to discuss the cancellation of an amendment to the Basic Law (Ma'in Chapter in the Israeli Constitution) that harms the court's ability to protect citizens from governmental heartache and extremely unreasonable decisions and actions. The biggest danger we face is that the israel government will not accept the Supreme Court ruling, unless it stops in its favor, creating a constitutional crisis.

Yesterday, many citizens of israel came out to show support for the Supreme Court, making a clear statement that israel stands behind the Supreme Court and accepts all its decisions, and that the Supreme Court must make decisions bravely, independently and in accordance with the spirit of law, the Book of Independence and the principles of democracy.

Democracy on the line... Saturday 5 August in Tel Aviv

Israel is facing a new and challenging era. Our democracy is under attack. The attacker is the right-winged government that was elected 8 months ago. 

The Justice minister and his supporters declared a series of laws that will lead to a revolution in the supreme court, in order to take control and give the government unlimited force, without Legal supervision on unreasonable decisions.

Hundreds of thousands of people went out to demonstrate in the streets, all over Israel, in order to stop the process. 

But, last week the Parliament approved the first law.  The protest movement has lost the first battle. 

But we will never surrender. We will continue fighting in order to keep our democracy alive and liberal !

I have joined a team of photographers that goes out to the streets in order to follow and document the protests, all the time, all over the country. The photos and videos will be used for publishing in the media by the protest leaders.
