"We stood proud and tall together because there is nothing that will stop the just civilian resistance to the genocide and occupation," said one protester.

Thousands of Israelis took to the streets of Tel Aviv Saturday in multiple demonstrations demanding an end to their government’s genocidal war and engineered famine in Gaza and a deal to free the remaining hostages held by Hamas since October 2023.

Israelis—both Arab and Jewish—rallied in Habima Square holding signs reading “Stop the Genocide” and photos of some of the at least 115 Palestinian children who have starved to death in what the world’s leading authority on hunger has officially declared a full-blown famine.

    I thought the demos were more about ending the war so that the tiny handful of Israeli hostages would be released, and most of the demonstrators don’t give a shit about the people of Gaza or stopping the genocide.
