(8,815 posts)the roll back of the settlements in the West Bank.
They remind me of the GOPs who voted for trump 4 times and NOW want an alternative because they can't blame the man in the mirror.

Do you believe them now?

(8,815 posts)And that protest was much smaller. Hundreds, not 10s of thousands. Have tens of thousands of Israelis ever protested the settlements?
These new protests are calling for new elections. To what end? A different policy? Or a politically disinfected continuation of the current right wing policy?

(4,715 posts)Now that answer isn't valid because it wasn't after 10/7 and the size of the protest wasn't large enough? I would assume that Israelis at this moment in time have other issues that are on their minds - like the return of hostages.
How many Palestinian demonstrators have spoken out against the Hamas atrocities of 10/7?
How many have spoken out to end this miserable war by returning the hostages and actually agreeing to a cease fire? Pro Palestinian demonstrators are shouting slogans that call for the eradication of Israel and all Jewish people.
Netanyahu was being protested against by the tens of thousands in Israel -he was being charged with corruption.
Again - higher standards for Israel than any other country.
Most of the people here who support Israel have also condemned the West Bank settlers.

(48 posts)He and Jared Kushner want to completely raze the Gaza Strip to build luxury beach-side resorts and to steal the oil/gas offshore wells with the financial backing from the Russian mob (Netanyahu + Russian Jews) and the Saudis (Kushner). Natanyahu and his far-right coalition partners want to force the Palestinians to flee into the desert which is what his Rafah demolition plan is supposed to accomplish, but hopefully, Biden won't let that happen,

(2,145 posts)that Israel hasn't been more aggressive to get the hostages back, not because they want to stop the war.
