The new threat to the status quo, remote as it may be, stems from the hope – or the danger, as far as the establishment is concerned – that this is not a solitary incident, but a cascading call to arms for secular Israelis to rise up against their oppressors. That the rage over surrogacy, which has already expanded to a general demonstration of support for the LGBT community, won’t stop there, but will keep on gathering energy and momentum and turn into a mass protest movement against Orthodox tyranny, the „Iranization“ of Israel and the notion of Jewish superiority as the guiding light of Netanyahu’s coalition.

That the despondent enlightened majority will snap out of its depression, open its windows and yell, like Howard Beale in the movie „Network“ “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore. There will be changes.”
