Hundreds of Israelis, most of them women, protested outside the US embassy in Tel Aviv Saturday against US President Donald Trump, mirroring worldwide demonstrations to mark his first full day in office.

The protesters waved placards reading "Hate is not great" and "Women's rights are human rights," according to an AFP journalist.

The "Women's March on Washington" demonstration was one of more than 600 held worldwide, a day after Trump's inauguration on Friday, to condemn his allegedly sexist stances following a series of disparaging comments he made during his presidential campaign.

Hundreds of thousands packed the streets of Washington while other demonstrations took place in cities such London, Paris and Sydney against Trump's presidency.

In a break with previous administrations, Trump has pledged to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and relocate the US embassy there from Tel Aviv.

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has warned that such a move would deal a huge blow to hopes for Middle East peace and the UN and EU have voiced deep concern over the proposal.

This is an example of the typical self-hating Tel Aviv Jew. They act like Israel is only Tel Aviv. They would probably protest the embassy being moved out of their city.

According to the Los Angeles Nazi Times,  Tel Aviv protesters did protest Donald Trump's promise to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Standing in a chilly sea breeze, hundreds of American expatriate demonstrators gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv to protest what they described as President Trump’s slights against women and minorities.

Demonstrators were careful to keep the focus local, though, singing Hebrew prayers for peace, protesting Trump’s promise to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and holding up signs critical of the new president’s emerging bromance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"The question is what we in Israel can do as an act of resistance against Trump,’’ said Larry Derfner, a left-wing blogger and columnist.  “I would say that any act of protest, of getting in people’s faces, against the Netanyahu administration and the occupation is by direct extension an act of resistance.”

Derfner also slammed Trump’s nominee for ambassador to Israel, real estate lawyer David Friedman, for referring to the liberal American Jewish political advocacy group J-Street as “kapos.”

“We have to organize a boycott of him,’’ said Derfner, an Israeli American.

Speakers called on the crowd to express solidarity with Palestinians in Israel and in the West Bank who have had homes demolished by Israeli authorities.
Evan Kent, a 56-year-old Jerusalem resident and former cantor at Temple Isaiah in West Los Angeles, said he made the trip to Tel Aviv to support demonstrators in the U.S. and around the world. He said he was disturbed that Trump’s victory is emboldening Israel’s right-wing government.
"The right wing in Israel has formed an alliance with Trump, thinking he’s giving them an imprimatur to be more right-wing, it’s a little disconcerting,’’ he said. “Trump's personality indicates he will only do what’s best for him, and not what’s best for Israel. The people who think he’s best for Israel are sadly delusional.’’

I hope that Chabad expands their presence in Tel Aviv.  Maybe they can get through to some current leftist Jews there that support the lifestyles you mentioned.

Such protests are completely useless ans counter-productive.

 Their needs to be Rabbis who speak tough and say it like it is and not any of those who are tolerant of leftists and secularists.

I wonder if there will be a faminazi protest in Israel too.  Stupidity seems to be spreading.
