    So where are the protests about it?

      From what I know the biggest concentration of Israeli Palestinians outside of Jerusalem is in the North, so they’re probably scared shitless that if they say anything Bibi will accuse them of being Hezbollah militants and send the police after them

        no, I’m asking about Israeli Israelis. Where are the ordinary city-dwellers getting up and marching to protest the ongoing slaughter, as you’ll find in just about every other city in the world?

      I saw an article about just that last night, but if you can imagine, it’s rather hard to find it under all the other protest news…

      You’re expecting to be spoonfed by lemmy?

        I’d expect at least one news report anywhere about it, if there were a significant protest movement.

            Did you read that page? Some of the protests were

            • Protest against humanitarian aid

            • Pro-war protests

            The rest were to get the hostages back. Nothing remotely about peace or anti-genocide.

            It’s good to hear that there are Israelis who have the courage to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza. I have not seen this in the news so thank you for the link.

              Did you read that page yet?

              Israelis domestically and abroad have primarily called for the return of hostages held by Hamas.

              Some of the protests were

              • Protest against humanitarian aid

              • Pro-war protests

              Nothing remotely about peace or anti-genocide, or even to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza, in fact:

              On 9 November, Israeli police arrested former MK Mohammad Barakeh in Nazareth for attempting to organize an anti-war protest.[53]

              The reason you have not seen “Israelis who have the courage to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza” in the news is that it’s not happening.

              Jews, on the other hand, have been getting locked up in droves (and since the beginning of the latest offensive) protesting Israel’s actions.

                Yes, I saw that, but there was also a section in the Wikipedia page entitled “Anti-war protests”, and some of those look like they are motivated by concern over the slaughter.
