They call themselves “The Pink Front”, and participate in anti-Netanyahu protests that are held across the country each Saturday, drawing thousands of people calling for Israel’s longest-serving leader to step down over corruption allegations, which he denies. Many Pink Front members are artists and performers, a community that has been hit hard by coronavirus lockdowns. Amid a splash of pink bandannas, flags and shirts, other groups wear black to lament Netanyahu’s continued stewardship, permitted by law, while under criminal indictment. At one protest, Sharon Saguy, 54, a flamenco dancer and choreographer, is surrounded by activists painting their faces pink. Pink, group members say, represents love, optimism and female leadership.
