    The trigger for the protests and ceasefire demands was for the rescue hostages, not the end of the ongoing genocide.

      Yes, I know what triggered them. What do you think they want Netanyahu to do? Kill even more Palestinians? Is that what you think they’re calling for here? Bomb harder?

      Because they’re literally calling for the opposite. Isn’t that a good thing?

        There’s no doubt that a good chunk of the population does want Netanyahu to kill even more Palestinians. These people didn’t start protesting over their actions against the Palestinians. So once they have the hostages it’s a safe assumption that they will stop protrsting and demanding a ceasefire.

          No that is not a safe assumption. They are not a hive mind.

            If what you’re saying is true then there would have been protests of this magnitude the moment the news started coming out about what the IDF is doing.

              Sorry… you’re saying it is true that Israel is a hive mind and there is 100% agreement on the genocide in Palestine or else just as many people would have protested at the beginning?

                I’m saying a significant portion of the Israelis would have been protesting from the beginning if they cared about the Palestinians.

                  Okay, but no one said that a significant portion of Israelis were against it. This is what you said:

                  So once they have the hostages it’s a safe assumption that they will stop protrsting and demanding a ceasefire.

                  That is only true if every single person protesting feels that way. And that would only be true if they were a hive mind.

                  Some Israelis have been protesting since the beginning of the war. Yes, they are not huge in number, but they exist. Were you even aware of that?

                    I have no doubt in my mind that there exists some Israelis that are kind and compassionate and are completely willing to coexist with the Palestinians. But those people will always be in the minority. We’re talking about a country whose whole existence is based on the displacement and eradication of the native population. The genocide of the Palestinians started long before Oct 7th. The only thing that has changed is how quickly it’s happening.
