Thousands took to the streets across Israel Saturday night to call for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ouster and new elections, in demonstrations spanning from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to Haifa and Caesarea in the north and Be’er Sheva in the south.

At a demonstration in front of the President’s Residence in Jerusalem, Yosef Angel, bereaved father and grandfather of 17-year-old Ofir Angel, who was freed from Hamas captivity in Gaza, said “You stand at the head, and are responsible for the October 7 holocaust. You are trying to escape responsibility and look for someone else to blame, shame on you.”

      They went into villages and massacred every man, woman and child they could find simply because they didn’t approve of people of a certain ethnicity living where they did.

        how did they gather so many hostages? if they massacred every man woman and child how can hostages be real?

        you lost the plot. your thesis has no ground basis and is all feelings and nothing more. terror attack? yes. genocide? not even close.

        at least you say hamas, and not palestinians.

          Because you can take some people hostage while killing other people? It’s not really that complicated.

          at least you say hamas, and not palestinians.

          Yeah because I’m consistently against hating people based on their ethnicity.

          If this forum was dominated by people saying Palestinians are evil, I would be speaking out against that.

          But this forum happens to be dominated be people promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories, and people that deny the existence of violence towards Jews. So I’m speaking out against that.

          If you can see past the emotional manipulations that are happening in this particular information silo, you’ll see the same pattern of behaviour I’m seeing. This forum is devolving into straight up antisemitism.

            Criticizing the government and military of Israel is not anti Semitism anymore than calling out the American government is racism.

              Rehashing the century old Protocols of the Elders of Zion shtick is antisemitism. And that kind of stuff has become mainstream now.

                The closest thing I’ve seen to that is people wondering why the hell the Western world is supporting such an obvious genocide. And that’s a fair question.

          The whole point of Hamas is they’re angry about Jews living in places that think Palestinians should living in. They went into villages that the believe should have only Palestinians living in and murdered every Jew they could find living there.

          Maybe you’ve fallen sway to the blood and soil “river to the sea” narrative, but it’s really just wanting a specific ethnicity living on certain patches of dirt and not wanting another ethnicity living there. Hamas has not been subtle about this. It’s a fascist tendency we’ve seen many times before.
