Tens of thousands of Israelis gathered at a Tel Aviv square on Saturday under the banner "Israel wants change" and called for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be replaced in March 17 national elections.

The rally at Rabin Square was the highest profile demonstration yet in the run-up to the election. It was organized by a nonprofit organization seeking to change Israel's priorities and refocus on health, education, housing and the country's cost of living. Though not officially endorsed by any political party, it drew mostly supporters of leftist and centrist parties.

The rally's keynote speaker was former Mossad chief Meir Dagan, who recently slammed Netanyahu's conduct and called him "the person who has caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel."

Journalists have a responsibility to plainly tell the truth about how truly different the Democrats and the Republicans are today, especially with both democracy and the rule of law at stake this November.

From Hungary and Poland to Italy and Spain, today's anti-abortionist movements are feeding one another—while also driving a growing counter-movement.

Agriculture, the service economy, sexual exploitation, manufacturing, construction and domestic work drive today's enslavement around the world.

Thanks to the Electoral College, leftists have perhaps the final say this November over whether democracy can hold on for at least another four years, or if fascism will take root and infect all facets of the federal government for decades to come.

What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
