The organizers of protests against the government’s judicial reform plan are offering Israelis payment to join a protest that will bring traffic at Ben-Gurion Airport to a halt. After the “National Disruption Day” last week, a new protest was called for this Thursday at Ben-Gurion Airport. Following the announcement, a Whatsapp message was sent to various groups offering people payment to join the protest. “You want to make a few shekels this Thursday? Come shut down Ben-Gurion Airport for NIS 250 plus gas! “This Thursday (3/9) at 9 a.m., people from all over Israel will arrive at Ben-Gurion and take action with a simple tactic: we’ll drive slowly between the entrances of the airport and Terminal 3 and back, again and again. “The more cars there are, the more we can impact the airport’s operations for many hours. The goal is to enjoy a leisurely drive around the airport. Bring music and podcasts.” The message also warns: “Whoever does not coordinate with the managers of the protests won’t receive payment! You must send the managers your full name and type of vehicle in order to register to receive payment.” Walla reporter Yaki Adamker discovered that one of the people involved in offering payment to protesters at the airport is former El Al captain Ofer Lapidot, who was involved in an attempt to organize a similar protest in 2020 against Netanyahu’s flight to the United Arab Emirates. Previous reports related similar instances of payments offered to those willing to join anti-government protests.
