Lapid: "This government is not Zionist or patriotic'

Opposition leader Yair Lapid spoke at a demonstration against the judicial reform in Herzliya.

"This government is not Zionist and it is not patriotic. You are not a Zionist if you send other people's children to fight, but make sure that your children do not enlist. You do not love the country if you despise the majority of citizens who live in it.The government did not read the map correctly. It is not true that young people are indifferent. It is not true that protests have no effect. It is not true that the Likudniks do not listen to us. It is not true that people do not understand what the government is trying to do. We understand. They want to erase democracy. We will not let that happen," he said.

"The government tells us, 'We won the elections'. No one claims otherwise, but the fact that you won the elections does not mean that everything is allowed to you."
