Happening now here in Tel Aviv. One of the biggest rallies calling for a ceasefire with Hamas, release of the 130 or so hostages still held and new elections in the hopes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might be replaced. @cbsnews

1. The Israeli people have the power to make the change!

[jimfields33]

2. Can the Palestinians also rally and call for new leadership?

I think the whole country needs a redo. Israel at least changes leadership every now and again. Palestinians never change leadership or even ask to. Country needs a redo and not just Israel.

4. elections def need to b the whole country.

and dont see gaza elections cd b avoided. good.

[LuvLoogie]

12. What whole country?

[mopinko]

17. including gaza.

7. Do Palestinians have a state?

It's not like they have a steady population with permanent homes. Do the Palestinians in the West Bank get a vote? What about the ones displaced by settlers? Do they get a ballot? Where do they drop it off? Who gets to count the votes?

Are Gaza and the West Bank Israel?

9. They voted in 2006, the last time Hamas allowed elections when the Palestinians voted them in and gave them

72 out of 132 seats in the Parliament.

3. Hersh Goldberg-Polin needs to come home. It's a miracle he's still alive after Hamas blew off his hand.

6. Yes he does ❣️🕯️🕊️💙🇮🇱

[Nixie]

5. Release of the hostages. Yes, that's been the issue

from the beginning.

8. Release the Hostages 💙🇮🇱💙🕯️🕊️

10. Good. I support the Israelis doing this. Cease fire needs to be contingent on all hostages being released

And the Palestinians turning over all people that planned, executed, or profited from Oct. 7th

Anything else is an insult to those hostages killed and the victims of Oct 7th.

However, Hamas will never stop with their attacks as it is ingrained in their charter, so any ceasefire will probably be broken and we will go back to this again.

Israel gets attacked, Israelis die, the world offers tepid “how bad this is”. Israel retaliates, the world blames Israel, and protests against Israel will start up again.

14. Retaliate is one thing, goings-on for 6 months is another.

Nobody blames the citizens of Israel, they blame the government and Netanyahu and his war cabinet.

[AZLD4Candidate]

15. Listen to protestors targeting Jewish students. I respectfully disagree.

Has Hamas turned over the ones that planned, did, or profited from Oct 7th?

WW1 could have been avoided if Serbia turned over the people in the Black Hand. They didn't and WW1 happened.

[Lancero]

11. Peaceful and acknowledging the fact that Gaza has to step up for the ceasefire to work. Two big things...

That protests here in the US seem to lack.

[Barry Markson]

13. Hamass likely does not have more than a couple of hostages left alive.

And if Hamass does release the tortured and mutilated bodies it will only inflame passions in Israel even more.

Hostages are the only thing keeping the IDF from finishing the necessary elimination of Hamass, they know it and the Hamass leaders cowering in Quater must know they'll be hunted down like the nazis after ww2 and the running dogs after the Munich Olympics in '72.

16. Speaking of the Hamas leaders

Why weren't these leaders hunted down like animals. We got Osama, it took awhile, but we got him. Nazi hunters got many of them and brought them to justice even though they were protected by other countries.
