Angry Sderot Residents Demonstrate
Sunday morning the streets of Jerusalem were flooded with angry Sderot residents and other Israelis who stand with them, protesting the government's inaction against the increasing Qassam attacks. Protestors set up a tent outside Prime Minister Olmert's residence and blocked traffic, calling on all Israelis to join in the protest. Well did they declare, "Now it's Sderot, later it will be Ashkelon and Tel Aviv."
Today they are taking their protests to Tel Aviv and will demonstrate in front of the Ministry of Defense headquarters, demanding action for their protection.
Sderot Mayor Eli Moyal is taking part in the demonstrations.
The campaign is being directed by Alon Davidi from the Security Headquarters in Sderot.
According to him, the decision to commence protests outside of Sderot was made after "we saw that Prime Minister Olmert divides the country into two: Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the rest of the cities - against another country which is (comprised of) Sderot and the Gaza vicinity, where it is okay to forsake the residents and not give them protection."
"We intend to hold protest rallies and marches. With these (steps), we will be giving the opportunity to all citizens of the state, also in Tel Aviv, to express their identification with Sderot residents and to prove that this government separation between residents cannot be," Davidi added.
