Some protesters in Tel Aviv carried photos of the female soldiers who appeared in a video earlier in the week showing them soon after they were abducted during the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7 started the war between Israel and Hamas. Some held banners reading “Stop the war” and “Help.” They called on the government to reach a deal to release the dozens of hostages still in captivity.
The protesters also called for the resignation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and demanded new elections.
“We all saw the video, we could not stay at home after the government abandoned all these people,” said Hilit Sagi, from the group “Women Protest for the Return of All Hostages.”

Divisions among Israelis have deepened over how Netanyahu has handled the war against Hamas after the attack that killed about 1,200 people and saw 250 others taken hostage. Israel says around 100 hostages are still being held in Gaza, along with the bodies of around 30 more.
“Basically they are not doing enough in order for the hostages to come back, either with military force, with (a) hostages’ deal, negotiating. Nothing is being done,” said Snir Dahan, uncle of hostage Carmel Gat, still in captivity in Gaza.
if they have any ideas on how to free the hostages were happy to listen
why don’t the police treat them like the charadim in Jerusalem? Get real tough and drag them away???
Maybe the Secular Israeli Left-Wing should be protesting the fact that their government cares more about not killing Amalekim in fear of foreign entities/governments. Jews should be out there protesting the Biden administration for its grip on the conflict. Maybe the Secular Israeli Left-Wing should demand that we blockade Azzah until ALL of the hostages are released including those that are Bedouin.
