“We hope the world hears us and knows that the people of Israel are not the government of Israel,” said one protester.

Israelis protested on Saturday night, calling for a ceasefire and the resignation of hardline Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Tens of thousands took to the streets in Tel Aviv to demand that the government reach a deal with Hamas to secure the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza.

They also called for new elections, accusing Netanyahu of prolonging the conflict to keep himself in power.

    the condition of 2 years of conservative rulership followed by 2 years of progressive/moderate rulership was cut short

    Well the important thing is that the moderates compromised. How were they to know that the fascists couldn’t be trusted?

    This is Charlie-Brown-with-the-football levels of gullible.

      Yeah, probably one of the few cases where it actually would have been better for the government to remain in shutdown.
