TEL AVIV, Israel — Tens of thousands of Israelis protested on Saturday against a controversial plan to revamp the country’s legal system, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s suspension of the changes earlier in the week. The protesters gathered in Tel Aviv, Israel’s commercial hub on the Mediterranean, for the 13th weekly demonstration, raising Israeli flags and banners against what they said were plans to weaken the Supreme Court. Several smaller rallies took place in other towns and cities.

The protests have been going on since Netanyahu’s government, the most right-wing in the country’s history, introduced the changes.

You won't see them protesting the apartheid state that oppresses Palestinians. They just don't want that to happen to them!

They know it’s just on hold.

Chuck Schumer will make sure Israel is OK. That's what Americans are paying him for.

Lock them all up
