'You Don't Gain Victory Over the Bodies of Children': Israelis March Against Starvation, War in Gaza

Carrying photos of emaciated Palestinian children, a few hundred Israelis gathered in central Tel Aviv on Monday to protest against the Netanyahu government. 'We cannot believe that we need to march against starvation of children and innocent people,' Alon-Lee Green, co-director of Standing Together, which organized the event

On Tuesday evening in Tel Aviv, a few hundred people gathered at Habima Square in the city center, holding meter-by-meter photos of emaciated children from Gaza and sacks of flour. A young woman chanted into a megaphone, "You don't gain victory over the bodies of children," and the crowd repeated her. "We will fight with all our might against starvation in our name!"

But a few hundred? It will take far larger protests t make any difference, and even then Netanyahu will likely ignore them, just as Trump and Republicans do here. The best solution would be to kick this government out and elect sane people, but I don’t see that happening. .

every day all across the country in every city inside Israel proper plus
at main intersections .
The main ones are on Fridays and Saturday nights when there are thousands on the streets .

We are being attacked by Right wing mobs and dispersed by the police .

attacks on Israeli Arabs , even if they are members of the Knesset like Ayman Odeh
see here :

are nothing new.... and we on the Left have become immune to their attacks since they perpetuated
their biggest success to date ......the assassination of Rabin and thus the end of a two State Solution .

Everything is connected ........its all about annexing the West Bank and now Gaza again .

only there is a difference now

its not just the Arabs and the Left the Right wing mobs are attacking
its all of us that have the courage to take to the streets .

If in America a synagogue was attacked by a violent mob how would you describe them ?
Antisemites ?

Attorney Gaby Lasky,( Meretz ) who represents several complainants among the protest detainees, told Haaretz that "based on the materials I have reviewed, as well as those submitted to the police, there is a clear pattern of incitement to violence and alleged threats."

She added that these actions "led to a pogrom and violent riots targeting innocent civilians in their 70s and 80s, who hold different views from both the rioters and the government that enables and encourages an atmosphere of violence."

Lasky added that in light of the violent protest and the police investigation – which she described as lazy – "it can be said that just as the police refrain from investigating and arresting those responsible for violent pogroms in the occupied territories [West Bank], so too do they avoid enforcing the law against the inciters, threats and participants in the Ra'anana pogrom, in order to appease political interests and failing in their duty."
