1:21 video shows the scale of the protest.
Shulamit Ron, Demonstrator: “We hope the world hears us: the people of Israel are not the government of Israel. We don’t agree with the policy; we don’t agree with the way they behave; and we want to have a different future.”
Roi Tzohar, Demonstrator: “The Israeli people are hostages to their right-wing government. The people of Gaza are hostages to Hamas. And, basically, there has to be a way to overcome that and to stop the fighting and the killing. This [demonstration?] is to give everybody hope.”
It would not surprise me in the least to see future history books list one of the reasons for Netanyahu’s escalation of genocide include that he wanted to stop the corruption trial he’s in the middle of right now.
