[Examples of protests against the IDF's operations in Gaza right now]
These are also described as "rare", and tend to get broken up by authorities for "harming the feelings of the public" and whatnot. The vast majority are led by the Bring Them Home Now movement or are otherwise unequivocally focused on the return of the hostages.
- tptacek 2y agoIt's not hard to find explicitly anti-war protests from organizations on the Israeli left, but if you yourself were building a program to mobilize opposition to the war in Gaza, what would you lead with? Every march for the return of hostages is implicitly (or explicitly) demanding that Netanyahu complete a ceasefire deal with Hamas. 3/4 of polled Israelis now want Netanyahu gone, and the numbers don't get much better for his defense and intelligence teams.
- AlecSchueler 2y agoIs this the conversion getting more thoughtful as it goes on? If even "the dumbest" Google search can show what you're saying, maybe you could provide these dummies with a link? You're dismissing their sources out of hand without any rebuttal while at the same time quoting various figures with no source at all.
- tptacek 2y agoI don't understand what you're asking, but 'runarberg upthread just posted a clear example. I'm uncomfortable with the whole enterprise of trying to characterize the thoughts and feelings of 7 million people, so the idea of doing a dueling cites thing is unappealing to me. If anyone on this thread wants to read that as a concession, I'm fine with agreeing to disagree.
