JERUSALEM, March 31 (Reuters) -- Tens of thousands of people demonstrated in Jerusalem on Sunday against Benjamin Netanyahu's government and against exemptions granted to ultra-Orthodox Jewish men from military service, in scenes reminiscent of mass street protests last year.

Protest groups, including some that led the mass demonstrations that rocked Israel in 2023, organized the rally outside parliament, the Knesset, calling for a new election to replace the government.

The protesters also want a more equal share in the burden of army service that binds most Israelis.
Around 600 soldiers have been killed so far since the Hamas attack of Oct. 7 and the ensuing war in Gaza, the military's highest causality toll in years.

Israel N12 News said it appeared to be the largest demonstration since the war began, Haaretz and Ynet news sites said it drew tens of thousands of people.

4. In Israel, they can freely protest and vote out their politicians

If this were attempted in Gaza by the Palestinian people against their government, we'd see hundreds gunned down by Hamas.

And then Al Jazeera would report the next day on how hundreds of civilians were killed in an Israeli airstrike, per the Gaza (Hamas) Health Ministry.

5. Exactly Gaza is run by a Terrorist Organization
