1:21 video shows the scale of the protest.
Shulamit Ron, Demonstrator: “We hope the world hears us: the people of Israel are not the government of Israel. We don’t agree with the policy; we don’t agree with the way they behave; and we want to have a different future.”
Roi Tzohar, Demonstrator: “The Israeli people are hostages to their right-wing government. The people of Gaza are hostages to Hamas. And, basically, there has to be a way to overcome that and to stop the fighting and the killing. This [demonstration?] is to give everybody hope.”
Netanyahu should at the very least call an election as a referendum of his recent choices.
Without knowing Israel’s political landscape, I’m inclined to agree, but I don’t think ‘a referendum on our policies’ is part of the right-wing playbook
It would not surprise me in the least to see future history books list one of the reasons for Netanyahu’s escalation of genocide include that he wanted to stop the corruption trial he’s in the middle of right now.
Yeah, conservatives is all about:
“51% of you have us power a long time ago, this is all on you.”
Israelis will be lucky if Netanyahu ever calls an election again until he dies.
It would be easier to get trump to respect the gag order he’s under in his court cases
The whole reason Netanyahu won’t stop this war is because the second he does he’s removed from office by their courts.
