Israeli protesters stage 'day of resistance' against Netanyahu plan to overhaul judiciary

Demonstrators, who have been out protesting for more than two months against the overhaul, planned a "day of resistance to dictatorship" on Thursday. Parents and children demonstrated across the country ahead of school drop off and some protesters barricaded the offices of a conservative think tank helping to spearhead the judicial changes.
