      “Without the return of the hostages we will not be able to end the war, we will not be able to rehabilitate ourselves as a society,” Ron Tomer, president of the Manufacturers’ Association of Israel. Te me, “Rehabilitation” implies a level of dissent with Netanyahu’s actions.

      Then maybe you should, I don’t know, click on the link at the top of this article and look at the photos.

      Or possibly just read the headline of the post you’re commenting in.

      For fuck’s sake…

          This article?

          The protests came as the White House said that national security adviser Jake Sullivan held a virtual meeting with families of U.S. hostages held by Hamas in Gaza and ahead of Israeli labor union Histadrut calling a general strike for Monday to protest the Netanyahu government and demand an immediate hostage-release and ceasefire deal.

          I read it.

          Why are you gaslighting?

            The trigger for the protests and ceasefire demands was for the rescue hostages, not the end of the ongoing genocide.

              Yes, I know what triggered them. What do you think they want Netanyahu to do? Kill even more Palestinians? Is that what you think they’re calling for here? Bomb harder?

              Because they’re literally calling for the opposite. Isn’t that a good thing?

                There’s no doubt that a good chunk of the population does want Netanyahu to kill even more Palestinians. These people didn’t start protesting over their actions against the Palestinians. So once they have the hostages it’s a safe assumption that they will stop protrsting and demanding a ceasefire.

                    If what you’re saying is true then there would have been protests of this magnitude the moment the news started coming out about what the IDF is doing.

              Let me get this straight…

              Are you really claiming that the entire population of Israel- all 9.5 million people- share exactly the same opinion on Palestine?

              Because that would be incredibly fucking bigoted of you, so I want to make sure that’s what you’re saying.
