===14-01-18 OccupyTLV Sat night demonstration and brawl ===
It was a well funded demonstration, organized by a consortium of center-left parties, but tried to appear as a non-political party affiliated protest.
Right from the beginning, a group called the "Not Nice" guys, promised to block any party affiliated speaker.
The organizers than permitted two representatives of the "Not Nice" guys speak before anybody else.
Still they blocked the first party-affiliated speaker, Ilan Gilon from Meretz, a left leaning party.
A brawl followed, and finally police intervened at the organizers' request.
The incident demonstrates the total distrust of the political system by the hard core of the Protest Movement, and evasive techniques in response by the very same politicians. Some of which, at least, may be on our side.
But more than anything else, tonight's demonstration, which was expected to be one of the largest in recent months, and where only a couple of thousands,many familiar faces showed up, revealed the desperately splintered condition of the Israeli Social Protest movement.
In the meanwhile, the robbing of the people by the government, under pretense of legality continues!
