As tens of thousands of Israelis continue to join weekly protests over the government's highly controversial plans to change the justice system, as many as one in three citizens is thinking of leaving the country, according to a poll.
"It's not our ritual to go and protest in the streets but we're forced to because we're losing our country, that's how we feel," says the doctor, while attending the weekly Saturday night demonstration in central Tel Aviv.

The current coalition government relies on ultra-Orthodox Jews and religious nationalists who have socially conservative values and represent fast-growing parts of the population because of their relatively high birth rates.
