Yes, it's really extraordinary. It's the most extraordinary civil protest that Israel has known since 48. and I think it's similar. we're talking yes in the last week and some people say it was even 600-650,000 went to the streets. it was completely decentralized. there was no really you know it was all kinds of groups. high-tech people. ex-soldiers that were high-tech people that were afraid of that. The high-tech industry will be heard by ex-soldiers who are afraid that first of all the government may send them to missions that they cannot fulfill. and in general they say we Are Soldiers. we cannot be soldiers in a dictatorship. and the numbers grew and grew.
