The demonstration is in support of responsible and balanced leadership, the restoration of sanity in Jerusalem and a declaration that the Labor Party is the sane alternative to Netanyahu.Speakers will include former cabinet minister Yossi Sarid as well as past and present MKs. Among the demonstrators will be members of the family of legendary Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek, who during his 26 years in office built up the city by adding on parks, schools, theaters and other cultural institutions.
