Highly insightful comment by a commentator:
"the barrier of fear has collapsed".
A necessary ingredient for any revolution. Anywhere.

Another insightful comment, IMO:
"a coalition of opposition forces"
A lesson for those countries whose citizenry value ideological differences over shared objectives.

Israeli TV networks still ignoring the events altogether, the regular schedule so far. no news.
Internet news sites, think now that the people are winning over the streets, but appears that this is not perceived yet as threat to the regime, and even if it is, the MSM is silent. CHannel 1 supposedly sent a reporter to cairo, but nothing yet on the air. ??

I didn't check but the radio stations here are just the usual stuff. Might make the top of the hour news.
on edit:That 50.000 people in a small town is really telling, this is getting really big!
