>I see similarities to the protest in Israel's Tel Aviv main square from yesterday, in terms of social distancing.

Not seeing any myself given social distancing back then and now meant different things to people. Back then it would be some form of euphemism for - governmental cover up, which is not the go to definition we all know today when somebody says "social distancing".

What similarities other than both were protests are you seeing?

Dunno, but it's hardly news or anything new to the subject, just another wiki article and the subject, I dare say ticks too many political landmines in debate and we don't do politics here.
