“We are heading into civil non-violent disobedience,” Barak said.  “It’s an extremely inspiring movement, and it will not stop. We will block this attempt on the life of Israel’s democracy, and we will win this battle. There may be ups and downs, it might take time, some people might lose their lives along the way. I told the people we would have to face toil, sweat, and tears, hopefully, no blood, but there might be some violence, always coming from the right wing, but we will put an end to it, whatever the price will be,” Barak told CBS News.

Barak discussed the current Israeli government, saying it is “blatantly illegitimate, to my opinion, and even illegal. They are trying to change the very system. They are trying to change Israel from a place where the government is limited, it can not take actions against minorities, such as LGBTQs and Women, into a government that can do it, and we won’t let that happen.”

Barak compared National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to the Proud Boys, the American right-wing group that had a hand in storming the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, saying that Prime Minister Netanyahu made an “unholy alliance” with them to save himself from his criminal cases.

The former prime minister concluded that he was confident that despite his warning, there would not be a civil war. “Netanyahu doesn’t have troops, and he doesn’t have the will or the capability to do it, we will win through the most non-violent protest ever.”

Mr. Barak,

Im sure you’d like to see lives lost.

Please, just crawl back under the rock you came from. Just go away.

Who was on Epstein’s list? Who frequented Epstein’s townhome in Manhattan when visiting New York? What motivation might they have to disrupt the judicial reform process?

What an interesting definition of “civil non-violent disobedience” – a definition which “will result in loss of life”.

This guy reminds me of his friends the Ayatollahs of Iran and Putins of the USSR.
They need to threaten because they are weak and think by terrorizing and frightening everyone will intimidate humans to cave.
