“We hope the world hears us and knows that the people of Israel are not the government of Israel,” said one protester.
Israelis protested on Saturday night, calling for a ceasefire and the resignation of hardline Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Tens of thousands took to the streets in Tel Aviv to demand that the government reach a deal with Hamas to secure the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
They also called for new elections, accusing Netanyahu of prolonging the conflict to keep himself in power.
Netanyahu has been prime minister for 16 years, just won reelection in 2022, and has been a murderous, zionist bastard the entire time.
I wish them luck. They have an uphill climb against someone cementing dictatorial powers but I hope they can achieve those goals.
Unfortunately this can be said for a few nations now at this point
All the research I’m doing right now points to them just wanting their hostages back. Can anyone post evidence of citizens protesting the war on the grounds of genocide?
I just don’t see the humanity here… I want to see it, but I can’t find any evidence at all that they are against the actual atrocities being committed. If there is a huge vocal outcry for this, then their media (and/or ours) is doing overtime to hide it.
Look at all those anti-semites. /s
Send in the NYPD!
And this shows that those opposed to Israel’s actions in Gaza are not antisemitic (ignoring the eventual neonazi assholes), they are opposed to a government that is committing genocide. Especially a government that governs a people THAT SHOULD KNOE BETTER.
I have no problems at all with Jews and I’m sure that, given people who really want peace, a good treaty can be made where both the Palestinians and the Israelites can peacefully coexist, that would be awesome.
However, right now saying even something like that is somehow antisemitic. If anything, I find that sort of behavior antisemitic, because it is so transparent that it pushes more people to the far right and into the hands of neo Nazis.
Stop the genocide, stop the war, withdraw ALL Israeli forces immediately and unconditionally. Then put in a peace keeping force comprised of multiple countries in that same area, and make sure they all work towards peace.
Good shit guys, and good luck, what’s the point of democracy if they don’t fucking listen. We should all be doing this, all of the time
How anti-semetic of them. Don’t they know you can’t do that?
You aren"t saying the protesters are sterotypically self hating are you?
That would be a foul.
While it’s fair that they’re protesting for their hostages to be returned, this headline puts them in a completely different light. I don’t believe anyone is actually protesting for a ceasefire.
This is correct. I can’t find anything at all claiming this protest has anything to do with stopping the Palestinian genocide for the sake of humanity.
They just want their hostages back, according to what I’ve been able to find. Can anyone show significant support for the contrary?
Most of these people take/haven taken part in the IDF and have been actively participating in Apartheid. These people have been actively been on check points, raided Palestinian houses and killed and kidnapped (yes, kidnapped, because some are in prison without being proven guilty of anything).
This was done by Israelis.
Israelis are actively living in houses that aren’t theirs. In houses where the owners left due to their terrorism.
“We are not our government” but you are.
Spare me the crocodile tears and the fake democracy. We all saw your true colors. Genocidal maniacs.****
You’re an imbecile. I know a lot of people in the US military that didn’t rape anyone in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Do you think they would tell you?
How provocative. Enjoy your echo chamber big dog.
If you want to leave yours, you might want consider finding out what the yearly sexual assault rate is in the military from other military members alone.
And then the total percentage of Americans that have been assaulted.
You know rapists. You just do.
How many of them have told you what they are? What do you think the rate was during a military occupation?
