Frankly, Benjamin Netanyahu is a curse on Israel, he has single handedly done so much damage to Israel’s reputation that I am not sure they can recover from it in next 25 years.
He really needs to go. |
Um... these protesters are demanding Hamas return the hostages. They are not demanding everyone else capitulate to Hamas. Quite the opposite. |
Hamas would have released the hostages ONLY under the condition that they (Hamas) would still remain in power. Anyone agreeing to that is agreeing to a continuation of the reign of terrorism. No thanks. |
The prime minister said Israel was willing to pause fighting in Gaza in order to secure the release of hostages still being held by Hamas, believed to number more than 130. "But while Israel has shown willingness, Hamas remains entrenched in its extreme positions, first among them the demand to remove all our forces from the Gaza Strip, end the war, and leave Hamas in power," Netanyahu said. "Israel cannot accept that." Oh, and also this. Hamas is clearly showing they have no intention of agreeing to a ceasefire: Hamas' armed wing claimed responsibility for an attack on Sunday on the Kerem Shalom crossing between Israel and Gaza, which Israeli and Palestinian media reports said had resulted in Israeli casualties. |
Of course they have the right to speak. Literally nobody is arguing with you. They do not have the right to target Jewish students, call for the genocide of all Jews, and/or support a globally recognized terrorist organization. These “protests” are not saying, “Israel has a right to exist, and their ongoing operation designed to liberate Palestine from Hamas rule should continue, but maybe they should look at their operations and how they can better protect Palestinian civilians,” which is a 100% valid and reasonable stance. These protestors are arguing that Israel as a country should not exist, and that all Jewish people are guilty of extreme war crimes. They are arguing for “divestment” from Israel, and removal of American aid, much of which goes towards the Iron Dome, a DEFENSIVE system that continues to save Israeli lives. Divestment would harm Israelis, not the Israeli government, while removal of funding for the Iron Dome would be a massive boon for Hamas’ genocidal actions (like 10/7) and goals. |
+1000 Pretty astounding this has to be explained at all. |
Worth sacrificing hostages? Why can’t Israel come up with another plan to take out Hamas that doesn’t involve mass murder? Why is Israel letting settlers take over the West Bank, which makes it seem like they aren’t acting in good faith. Hamas is terrorists, but Israel is definitely an agitator. Nobody at the table is innocent. |
There can be no permanent peace deal unless it includes the immediate disarmament and dissolution of Hamas, and the removal of anybody associated with Hamas from governmental roles in Gaza and the West Bank. Hamas knows this, so they blackballed any negotiations by asking for a permanent peace deal without these stipulations. So Israel rejected the so-called “deal,” like any other country in their situation would have. |
No they are calling for the removal of Netanyahu, a ceasefire and the release of the hostages. They must be Hamas! Why have these people not been arrested and punished? How can you call for that here in the US but not in Israel? What is wrong with you? |
Your blind support for Israel is astounding. Had negotiations gone another way you would be arguing how that is the right decision Clearly nobody is lily white and spotless! |

https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-799926 These protesters BLOCKED A ROAD! What is wrong with them people! They also believe the following.
Guess they would get along with the pro Israeli protesters here…well except for block traffic. |
It’s pretty clear that Netanyahu/Likud don’t want the hostages. I’ve been saying this for a long time. Just like Netanyahu/Likud was happy to sacrifice the kibbutzim to Hamas on October 6…..those are not Likud voters.
And they love that Hamas attacked a border crossing. |
Thank you. Honestly, I don't have the energy to explain the obvious anymore. |
So the content of their speech is offensive to you and therefore should not be allowed? Only the more sanitized version you shared is ok? Yes - when the protests get to harassing anyone, Jewish or otherwise, they have crossed from being a protest into violence and should not be tolerated. |
