Tens of thousands in Tel Aviv demand Netanyahu's ouster
http://972mag.com/tens-of-thousands-in-tel-aviv-demand-netanyahus-ouster/103883/
Tens of thousands of Israelis attended a rally to demand a new government Saturday night in Rabin Square. Israel Police estimated that 40,000 people attended; the events organizers claimed more than 80,000 people showed up.
The rally was held under the banner, Israel wants change, and was being billed as an anti-Benjamin Netanyahu event.
Among the speakers scheduled to take part in the event were former Mossad chief Meir Dagan, Michal Kestan-Kedar ( the widow of a lieutenant-colonel who was killed in Operation Defensive Edge), a social justice activist, journalists and others.
In his speech, Dagan told the crowd that he is more scared of Israels leadership than its enemies. Saying that he wants neither a bi-national state nor an apartheid state, the former Mossad chief derided the current leadership for using fear and threats to present peace as unattainable.
