<<Why should it be illegal for an Israeli citizen to criticize his
government? If an Israeli citizen goes out into the street and publicly
states that he believes his country should leave the Palestinians alone, how
is he endangering his country? Now, if he would try to make his point by
shooting people, he should be arrested. But in this case, he is only
expressing his opinion.>>
*I* believe that we are at war and one who supports enemy in time of war is
guilty of treason. My government doesn't believe so. As I said, police is
much rougher on "My country" and "Women in green" demonstrations, than on
"Women in black" and "Peace now" demonstrations.

I agree. But somehow here, as far as I can remember, opponents were always
from the right wing.
