===2014-04-20 Jerusalem: The Big Bong Night - weed legalization demonstration // ליל הבאנגים הגדול===
[כעברית להלן]
OccupyTLV, April 20 - I have never been to a demonstration where everybody had a smile on their face. People came with flowers in their hair,.guitars. The crowd was decidedly non-violent, numbering 1000-2000, all in celebratory mood.
Police was ready with armed foot soldiers, mounted police, militarized armored vehicles - ready to prevent a putsch. After all, they detained the organizers a couple of days earlier on "sedition" charges.
The event was originally scheduled for midnight at the rose garden on the west side of the Knesset (parliament), where it would have bothered nobody. But police cordoned the whole area off. So, the event started in the park on the east side of the Knesset. It then appropriately ended up in front of the northern entrance to the rose garden, next to the Supreme Court - center of the corrupt Israeli justice system.
There was chanting, dancing, music.
From time to time undercover police violently snatched a person who lit a bong. Mounted police repeatedly charged into the demonstrators, ineffectively trying to disperse them.
By the end of the evening, media reported 10 demonstrators were detained.
Conduct of the Israel Police was simply ridiculous. The Attorney General guidelines are NOT to prosecute weed smokers. And the Israel Police is notorious for its colossal failure in fighting organized crime and government corruption. Assassinations of crime figures in broad daylight in busy streets have become a routine. The former prime minster has recently been convicted for taking bribes, the former president is serving a prison term for sex crimes... Judges were caught obstructing justice, falsifying court records, but were not prosecuted.
Whether weed is legalized or not is no longer material. The people refuse to comply with illegitimate intervention with their private lives.

מאהל המחאה ת"א, 20 לאפריל - הפגנה יוצאת דופן. המפגינים עם חיוך על הפנים, פרחים בשיער, גיטרות. הקהל של 1000-2000 היה בבירור נגד אלימות. המשטרה הייתה מוכנה עם מג"ב חמושים, שוטרים על סוסים, ומכונית משטרה משורינות - להגן על הכנסת מנסיון הפיכה אלים... אחרי הכל, המארגנים נעצרו על "המרדה"...
ההפגנה הייתה אמורה להתקיים בגן הוורדים, בו לא הייתה מפריעה לאיש. אבל המשטרה סגרה את כל האיזור, למנוע את קיום ההפגנה השקטה. ההפגנה לבסוף נערכה בכניסה הצפונית לגן הורדים, מול בית המשפט העליוןן - מרכזה של מערכת הצדק המושחתת.
מפעם לפעם שוטרים סמויים תפשו באלימות מישהו שהדליק בונג. השוטרים הרכובים דהרו אל תוך קהל המפגינים בנסיון שלא הצליח לפזר את הקהל.
על פי העיתונות נעצרו במהלך הלילה כ-10 מפגינים.
התנהלותה של משטרת ישראל פשוט מגוחכת, לאור הנחיות היועמ"ש שלא להעמיד לדין מעשנים, ולאור חוסר האונים של המשטרה להתמודד עם הפשע המאורגן .ושחיתות הממשל: ראש הממשלה לשעבר הורשע על לקיחת שוחד, הנשיא לשעבר מרצה עונש מאסר על עבירות מין, שופטים נתפסו משבשים הליכי משפט ומשבשים כתבי בית דין, אך לא הועמדו לדין...
בשלב זה אין זה משנה אם יוחלט לשנות את החוק או לא. האנשים אינם מוכנים לציית עוד להתערבות בלתי סבירה בחיהם הפרטיים.
