As people crowd into the streets to protest against the judicial reform bill, the century-old adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" certainly rings true.

Take a look at just a few of the photos from the protests sweeping the country on Wednesday's national day of disruption.

Juxtapositions in Tel Aviv

Even as the streets fill with demonstrators holding megaphones and waving Israeli flags, others continue to go about their day as normal.

Making bold statements

Images of women dressed in the costumes from the Handmaid's Tale traveling to protest spots by train made waves on Wednesday morning, as they appeared unfazed by any confused stares they may have received.

Once on the streets, protesters flowed through the roads, marching on highways and blocking traffic. Ariel shots of the protests capture the dozens of blue and white flags waving in the sun-filled streets.

At a closer distance, the signs and attire of the protesters come into view. From people waving pride flags to others representing the hi-tech sector, the scene was bright and colorful. Some people even brought their pets.
