Tens of thousands of Israelis are gathering at a Tel Aviv square under the banner “Israel wants change” and calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be replaced in March 17 national elections.

Saturday night’s rally at Rabin Square is the highest profile demonstration yet in the run-up to the election. It is organized by a non-profit organization seeking to change Israel’s priorities and refocus on health, education, housing and the country’s cost of living. Though not officially endorsed by any political party, it drew mostly supporters of leftist and centrist parties.

The rally’s keynote speaker is former Mossad chief Meir Dagan who recently slammed Netanyahu’s conduct and called him “the person who has caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel.”

            Did your ‘party’ there last as long as the one in Hong Kong trying for some true democratic ‘choice’?

    The greatest strategic damage
    You can win all the wars against the Arabs, but nothing can compensate losing the US support
