MODERATORS
 

On Friday, protesters fired flares in the air and demanded Netanyahu step down. Mounted police and trucks blocked their way. Demonstrators blame the prime minister for the security failures leading to the Hamas attack on Israeli communities on Oct. 7 — when authorities here say militants killed 1,200 people — as well his handling of the war in Gaza and the hostages since.

“Netanyahu has to leave or we’ll never get the hostages home,” said Karen Beltz, a Tel Aviv film producer. She said the protests were beginning to swell, but were still not as large or angry as the anti-government demonstrations that rocked Israel for months last year.

Israelis don’t give a shit about what they’ve done to Palestinians, only that they themselves have been affected.

See how the complaints are always “he’s to blame for the security failures” and never “he’s to blame for funding Hamas, causing suffering and devastation to an entire peoples allowing them to become so desperate they act radically”.

Zero sympathy or remorse for their own actions, both present and historical. They’ll learn nothing from this except “we should aim more guns at the wall.”

Fuck the far-right nation of Israel’s and the people who vote them into power time and time again.
