13-07-11 Time to wake up...

Photo: ‎הוקם חדר מצב לאירגון ההפגנה בשבת, מוזמים להצטרף אלינו‎
This pic was uploaded last night on Facebook. It shows people working (yours truly at the far end of the table) on Saturday night's (July 14th) Occupy Tel Aviv demonstration. We hope for 10's of thousands, if more - than we will be delighted. Enormous amount of work goes into mobilizing and organizing people all over Israel.
One of the banners of the demonstration is "time to wake up", after a hit, recorded for the Occupy movement by a leading Israeli rock group.
The point is: The pic was uploaded, and each and every one of the people was tagged by name. When it was discovered, the only issue was that the person, who uploaded it called it "The War Room", or "Command and Control Center", and we oppose military terminology... Nobody objected to the fact that the pic was uploaded without asking permission.
Could you imagine the equivalent in the United States?
People would be scared shitless, and no such situation would have happened in the first place, people would not sit like that, openly, together, panning a major anti government demonstration...
Time to wake up!
