“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.

    True but, isn’t it also true that a ceasefire is desirable? Isn’t it also true that the current prime minister should not hold power?

    These people protesting could be fairly judged as guilty of all the things you said. Would that make the things they are asking for invalid?

    Is perfection the realistic result? I dont think so.

    Can we be happy fewer Palestinians die as a result of this? I like to think so.
