The protesters demanded an end to the war and the release of hostages from Gaza, and also called for elections that many hoped would oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Good.
I didn’t expect this strong and transparent sign of opposition, but now that it’s there, I like it.
This isn’t a new phenomenon. Netanyahu was already deeply unpopular before October 7th and large scale protests have happened before.
However, it’s important to note that these are not anti-war protests. Most Israelis still support the military action in Gaza; They’re just protesting the fact that Netanyahu hasn’t done a good enough job of bringing the hostages home.
These protesters are being antisemitic.
Remember, only democracy in the middle east
I mean it is though, (unless you count Iraq and Turkey), that’s why this protest against the war and for an election is even allowed to happen.
