Good Anarchists: The Story of the Civil Uprising for Democracy in Israel

When civil disobedience becomes the last line of defense against a nation’s unraveling.

Brigadier General Asaf Agmon devoted his life to protecting his country. For over 51 years, he was a dedicated combat pilot and officer, commanding the most dangerous and complex operations in the Israeli Air Force.

But when protests erupted after Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was indicted on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, Asaf knew his country needed him now more than ever. This time, however, he’s not fighting behind enemy lines, but defending from an enemy within.

As the protests against a corrupt government gained traction, Asaf saw the need for radical measures that could not be ignored. He decided to chain himself, along with fellow patriots, to the gates of the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem. From that day, a sit-down protest was held for over ten months, garnering hundreds of thousands of supporters willing to protest day and night for justice while facing constant police brutality. But despite being called traitors and anarchists, Asaf knows the road to freedom is long and winding, and he won’t be deterred so easily.

Good Anarchists is the true and empowering story of how a power-hungry government turned law-abiding citizens fighting for their rights into enemies of the state. The book is a revealing and frank manifesto on how every person can and must fight for the right to democracy.
