Protesters are demanding the government reach a deal to bring the hostages back from Gaza, for new elections and the resignation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

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.”

      I don’t think you have any agenda. I think nothing else that what I wrote, especially because I used to think like what you wrote before, so I wanted to help you and other readers with more information. I quoted what is the most obviously incorrect in your comment. The information you added now doesn’t change the fact that this quote is incorrect.

          I don’t assume anything about you, I’m strictly answering to your comment and nothing else. Considering the multiple sources backing up the claim in the Wikipedia article, I don’t think it’s just my opinion.
