Wow the rabbit hole goes deeper and deeper, My own thinking of it happening is him making himself legally unremovable from office (removing the peaceful option always leads to the more violent outcome) but if thats anyway true then we're well and truly entering Karmas a Bitch Territory here should it come to pass.

The spin he put on it should have some traction.

Talking about pain, upset and concern within the military, including commanding officers and pointing to reservists defering service/not showing, etc.

Quite strongly linking this reform and danger to the state of Israel if Israeli society were to fracture due to this (and lack of dialogue with critics).

In even the most southern tip of my country the difference between winter daylight and summet daylight is about 5 hours. There is no way people are ignorant to this. The reason we hold on to it is the cost of changing. Thats pretty much it. Ironically though it also costs an economy quite a lot to keep too. The switch is counter productive economically speaking

>Black Lives Matter protests in the United States in 2020: 15-26 million people, represented around 4.5-7.8% of the total population of 331 million.

Note that this is the estimated total number of participants by the end of June 2020, not the amount in any specific protest. The equivalent figure for Israel is 19% of the population that participated in at least one protest. Out of them, 11% went to multiple protests.

Israeli here. After last time gantz cooperated with Netanyahu, many don't trust him. He is also problematic on several issues, obviously none as severe as the current "judicial reform".

In any case the chances of an election soon are slim. Even if the protests work, they could back down without immediately losing power.
