it's latin. and it was a path that for nearly two months this year inspired hundreds of thousands of israelis to again take to the streets they gave us a legacy saying there if you really. believe in something and you think you're right and you don't use violence per se you can get whatever you're fighting for and although the tensile slowly coming down prime minister netanyahu still has a lot on to fall in three weeks the committee he set up needs to address how to fix the country's mounting social problems will it actually do that not only have we not progressed but the country has become an enemy of its people everywhere citizens are harassed there are more police and now it's not only the lower class who are suffering but the middle class as well. and so forty years on the ideas and dreams of these mean because if it so to the challenges they face internal leadership the missions regional and evil and the new information is
