As the orange-clad, anti-disengagement protesters try to break out of a police cordon around Kfar Maimon, the Blues decided to take action Wednesday.
The Majority Camp, a left-wing umbrella group, sent hundreds of activists to 200 intersections to distribute blue ribbons to passersby.
“Blue Day” was organized by the Labor party and other movements to exploit the absence of right-wing activists, who went down south to join the march to Gush Katif.
Peres on anti-pullout camp
Vice Premier Shimon Peres visited pro-pullout activists at Tel Aviv’s Arlozolov Intersection and commended them while attacking anti-pullout activists.
“Everyone in Israel must salute the soldiers and police officers who stand exposed and unarmed in sweltering heat, without sleep, without respite,” Peres said. “These soldiers are protecting democracy and the rule of law in Israel because of the caprice of a settler minority that wants us to swallow a sword forever.”
Earlier, Peres said at the start of the Ministerial Committee on Disengagement, “Never have the security forces in Israel encountered such domestic provocation as these days.”
