TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Tens of thousands of grieving and angry Israelis surged into the streets Sunday night after six more hostages were found dead in Gaza, chanting “Now! Now!” as they demanded that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reach a cease-fire with Hamas to bring the remaining captives home.

The mass outpouring appeared to be the largest such demonstration in 11 months of war and protesters said it felt like a possible turning point, although the country is deeply divided.
Israel’s largest trade union, the Histadrut, further pressured the government by calling a general strike for Monday, the first since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that started the war. It aims to shut down or disrupt major sectors of the economy, including banking, health care and the country’s main airport.
Tens of thousands of Israelis are gathering all over Israel to call for the immediate release of the 101 hostages.
All of Israel is unified tonight in our cry to BRING THEM HOME.
No more dead bodies. No more funerals. We need every hostage reunited with their family ALIVE. pic.twitter.com/lqtKH2UzcT

You don’t negotiate with terrorists who said they will continue terrorism.
No question, the Kamala team aiding and abetting thi$$ mob. They’re desperate for cease fire even if it hurts Israel. Not that these insane Israeli leftists are any better.
“Hosteges die”!?
They were brutally and sadistically murdered.
I think the Israelis should start killing the hamas vile prisoners and Bury them in pig skin. no need to stop the war.this idiotic demonstration is what hamas wants.ceasefire = many more Israelis murdered
The leftist want to topple Netanyahu, and destroy the country!! Like what’s happening in America!! When hamass sees this, as they saw prior to Oct7, they will have the upper hand, and negotiate any which way they want regardless of what Israel wants. Wake up people, if they take over your country, you will never be the democrat country of the Middle East! You will jeopardize the lives of the rest of the hostages!!! WAKE UP!!!
Those protesters are absolutely wrong , by CAVING IN to terrorists you might CHULILE get more and more of Oct. 7 . Besides : how MANY hostages are ALIVE ? Hamas will NEVER provide you ANY list , is not it like a cat in the sack deal ? The solution is by mighty force , that is the only language the YISHMUEILIM understand .
Shame on you ! You’ve taken the side of Hamas ? You’re on the side of the anti Israel mobs in Europe & USA, those that also attack Jewish students ? Don’t you know that they hate you too ? Are you all insane ? SHAME !
A day before election day the Israelis should attack Gaza with murderous viciousness ,that will set the Michigan’s out of their minds with rage against the camel running for president
This is the biden administration selling Israel to the terrorists
This demonstration against the Israeli government doesn’t make sense. If anything, there should be a mod that wants to wipe out the gazans. This is prob coming from a hurt place..
To long term & Qqq & be strong : Spot on !
Stopping the war is ultimately the terrorists’ goal.
Israel must fight to eradicate all the terrorists; Then must make sure the land reverts back to Israeli sovreignty.
I see two groups here One led by leftists and Netanyahu haters like Lapid who couldn’t care less about the hostages all they want is power at all costs even if it means giving in to Hamas insane demands. Then you have the relatives whom I really feel sorry for but are acting very Selfish “Bring the hostages home at all costs” they yell. So Netanyahu should give in to Hamas, stop the war before reaching all its goals. Give up the Philadelphi route which simply allow who ever controls it to re-dig the tunnels. How shortsighted.
Leftist scum.
Don’t they understand they are doing exactly what Hamas wanted them to do? They are using you to get into another phony ceasefire so they can rearm and launch another attack and round of kidnappings. Don’t be Hamas’ useful idiots.
To Insane : I do commend you for your sharp insight !

Just the anti Bibi, anti religious and anti right people, sick leftist seculars who can’t think that they are helping Hamas not negotiate.
They would rather ruin our country than live with Bibi, the right wing and the increasing religious people in the government.
Sickos.
To Anonymous : I am not ; I quite understand your point of view : do you TRUST the world ELITES to mean well for Israel ? then , about the deal : have you an idea if there is even one hostage still alive [ because Sinwar YNS has already gone out , dressed as a woman ], then you seem to BE CONCERNED over the terrorists release for any future OCT. 7 like : so how can you release ANY ? [we have already learned of the recent past : what they DID ].
To Anonymous Sorry print mistake : I am not sure I quite understand your ,,,,,
As usual, the comments on VIN and other ‘frum’ blogs are full of opinions of right wing American yiddin ready to fight until the last dead Israeli.
Perhaps the tens of thousands of Israelis protesting against the current gov’t understand something Americans don’t about Bibi and how Israel was left so vulnerable to 10/7. Maybe the leftists would be interested in your opinions if the majority of you had kids in Hesder programs instead of bench warming or off the books working in Bnai Braq and Y-M.
Bring them.home NOW. Stop the war,too many innocents on both sides are dying
