I joined the Great March for Democracy in Israel last night, where an estimated 30,000 people are marching to Jerusalem to protest the current government’s destruction of democracy in Israel.

Here are two video shares — the first one is one I took as I walked through the crowds and shared some thoughts. The second is an aerial view from this morning as the crowd heads to Jerusalem.

And this is what it looks like this morning from the air. (Credit: Omer Yellin)
