“Right to Shout” tour in Tel Aviv

What is special about Tel Aviv? Why is it a symbol of democracy? What caused it to become a focal point for the controversies of Israeli society?

Although the judicial system, the Knesset, and decision-makers are located in Jerusalem, we chose to conduct a tour tracing the boundaries of protest and democracy in Tel Aviv. Over the years, Tel Aviv has become a symbol of pluralistic struggles. In recent years, there has been a renewed wave of protests and demonstrations following changes in legislation and attitudes toward the war and the struggle to bring back the kidnapped. People from all over the country choose to come to Tel Aviv/major intersections and shout what is in their hearts.

During the tour, we will ask you to pause for a moment and consider why people take to the streets. Would we be willing to take to the streets, and if so, for what cause? And is there any value in that?

The right to cry out Every person has the right to speak out and demand justice when they see injustice. We will discuss the legitimacy of several struggles that have taken place in Israel in recent years, return to the protests that preceded the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin 30 years ago, and consider together when protest becomes incitement and what are the legitimate/illegitimate boundaries of protest. Together, we will choose how we want to shape the image and character of the country in the future.

Stops to choose from on the tour route:

  • Azrieli/Sarona – What is democracy, the Declaration of Independence, the challenges facing Israeli democracy.
  • Kaplan – Street survey, What would I be willing to protest about, and why? Is there value in the right to protest?
  • The Stage – Art and Protest Open discussion regarding a proposed bill to censor art.
  • Rothschild – The tent protest and the fight against economic inequality.
  • Rabin Square – 30 years since Rabin's assassination, discussion on incitement and the limits of protest.
  • Beit Ariela (Kikar HaChatufim) – The story of the protest to bring back the kidnapped.
  • Gan Meir – The struggle of the LGBTQ community
  • Summary – The choice to take a stand and play an active role in shaping life in the country turns democracy from a value into a reality and a daily activity.
