"The extreme left, which has not succeeded in buying itself a place in the hearts of the people, has taken over the protests against the judicial reform, which were greatly weakened since apparently there won't be a reform at all," he said.
According to Gilad, there is a tendency in Israel to fall in love with protests, on both sides: "From the moment a line was put out for protests, they have not let up - it's every week, sometimes every day, until the subject of the protest is defeated and so is the entire public, who needs to suffer the side effects of the protest - road blocks, noise, a waste of the police forces' time, and so on."
"I say: Enough. Were your goals achieved? This is not the time to find additional goals so that you can tend the fire of rebellion. Let us breathe. Protests are an important democratic tool, but there is a limit to it as well.
