15 Adar Alef 5782, Shushan Purim Qatan | ט''ו אדר א' ה''תשפ''ב, שושן פורים קטן
I didn't post on time for the first day of the convoy protesting Israel's COVID-19 mandates and all that goes with them, but they're still there...so here's some of the record:
Arutz Sheva: Israel Freedom Convoy heads for Jerusalem.
Reuters: Israelis mount their own COVID "Freedom Convoy"
Jewish Press: Freedom Convoy: Israel
JNS: Israeli COVID 'Freedom Convoy' takes to the streets
Adina Kutnicki: Israelis Join Freedom Convoy
Israel Video Network: 20,000 Israeli Trucks and Family Vehicles Take Part in Global Freedom Convoy
HaAretz (in a rare non-premium article): Israeli 'Freedom Convoy' Blocks Main Highway in Protest of COVID Measures
US News and World Report: Israelis Mount Their Own COVID 'Freedom Convoy'
And this one, which I think is the clearest one of them all:
Freedom Convoy Israel 2022, published on two sites: United Pushback | Brownstone Institute
Many of these articles list the goals of the convoy in Israel. They are:
- The termination of the government’s Covid policies
- The return to normalcy for all Israeli citizens
- The opening up of all businesses
- Full transparency in the disclosure of all government contracts and protocols- including the infamous Pfizer Covid vaccine contract.
- Respect for indivdual privacy (arising from the scandal of the government and police using the spy software, Pegasus, to spy on ordinary citizens)
- Reaffirmation that all human beings are equal and have constitutional rights

No one has explained what the "wheel" in the slogan refers to, so I put it in the title. Another term can be helm.
Like this one, a nice mix of old and new:
