Ashkenazi was the commander of Fort Budapest, an Israeli fortification on the Suez Canal. It was the only position along the Bar Lev Line that did not fall to the Egyptians in the Battles of Fort Budapest. When the war was over, he organized protests outside the Prime Minister's office which gained widespread public support. The protest movement began as a one-man crusade. In February 1974, Ashkenazi stationed himself outside Meir's office in Jerusalem with a hand-drawn placard proclaiming: “Grandma, your defense is a failure and 3,000 of your children are dead.”

  • Ashkenazi was the commander of Fort Budapest, an Israeli fortification on the Suez Canal. It was the only position along the Bar Lev Line that did not fall to the Egyptians in the Battles of Fort Budapest. When the war was over, he organized protests outside the Prime Minister's office which gained widespread public support. The protest movement began as a one-man crusade. In February 1974, Ashkenazi stationed himself outside Meir's office in Jerusalem with a hand-drawn placard proclaiming: “Grandma, your defense is a failure and 3,000 of your children are dead.” Underestimating the impact of Ashkenazi's actions, defense minister Moshe Dayan did not believe that demonstrations would bring down the government. Within three months, however, growing public pressure forced the government to resign and ultimately led to the fall from power of the Labor Party.
