Protest: Racist lawmakers, inciting rabbis
B'Tselem, Peace Now and Greenpeace activists carried pictures of Interior Minister Eli Yishai, Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the slogan, "Don't investigate – resign!" following State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss' scathing report on the situation of Israel's firefighting services. Hundreds of refugees participated in the march as well. They carried signs reading, "No peace without human rights", "Forests burning? Climate change is already here", and "I have the right to live in peace". Amongst those who voiced their opinion during the main assembly were President of the New Israel Fund Naomi Chazan and President of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel Sami Michael. Michael said that "the state captains have neglected human being and trees. Leaders who arm an advanced army and neglect the home front are suspicious leaders in our eyes, for they focus on aggression and not defending their people. We and our children will watch everything you do very closely." (17,00)
