Antigovernment activists [under Zionism] are readying for a week of protests to push the government to step down.

The protests, which started today with demonstrations blocking several major highways, call for elections before the October 7 anniversary, according to Eran Schwartz, head of the Free in our Land protest group.

They will continue with a large gathering in front of [the] Knesset tomorrow evening, and then a march to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s residence, reports the Times of Israel.

“Only elections can start the healing process,” said protest leader Moshe Radman in comments carried by The Times of Israel.

“Netanyahu, what are you afraid of? Only a dictator is afraid of his people.”
