To Oren — greetings,

If the blocking is done for the sake of progress and openness, it should be permitted, as we say: "Block for one week so that it may be opened for many years."

The question is whether blocking roads is included in that convention, and in my opinion the answer is no. There are legitimate means that inconvenience the public, like a strike, but blocking roads is outright theft through positive action of public property.

To Avi — greetings,

Since you are "the chariot of Israel and its horsemen," it is obvious that you would oppose blocking roads. But the judicial system too ruled during the days of the Gush Katif expulsion that blocking roads constitutes "endangering human life on a traffic route."

Of course, one may be lenient about blocking roads in the areas of Judea and Samaria, since their residents are considered "subhuman," endangering freedom and progress and threatening the very existence of democracy, which is the breath of our nostrils and the joy of our lives.

On the face of it, the address to which the question should be directed — "Is blocking roads a legitimate protest?" — is the government's legal adviser.

I imagine she would direct the questioner to request a permit from the police. Many times a demonstration or another mass event is approved even though it involves road closures that cause drivers trouble and lengthen travel time. The police are supposed to take into account, on the one hand, the public need to demonstrate and protest, and on the other hand, the need not to cause extreme harm to the normal order of life and to public safety, and to try to set boundaries that will allow proper protest without wild disorder. Obviously, no decision is simple and it is impossible to satisfy everyone.

It depends.
For Haredim and settlers — forbidden.
For secular Tel Avivians — permitted. Everything is permitted for them, by the way.
