Israeli satellite and cable TV providers suspend broadcasts of Al Jazeera
Israeli satellite and cable television providers suspended broadcasts of Al Jazeera after the government decision to shut down the network’s operations in Israel for as long as the war on Gaza continues.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet made the decision on the grounds the television network, in their estimation, threatens national security.
They have been going on for over 4 months.
Before that there was a different set of protests that had been going on for 6 months
The discontent with Bibi's government isn't new.
I remember just before the war started reservists were threatening to withhold their service. Did not know tens of thousands of people are now attending weekly. I guess it makes sense
Hostages not returned
Tunnels not destroyed
Hamas leadership loving life in Qatar
Hamas still running around like rats underground
A lot to be angry about
The longer Bibi sticks around, the less Israel looks like a democracy and more like a theocracy.

Bibi playing politics in a war
Haredim issues
The entire north of the country still not living at home, living in hotels
No clear day after plan
Definitely need new leadership soon

There have been lots of protests against Netanyahu over corruption, but these are for a ceasefire.
Of course not. Iraq was fighting with Kuwait (ie British Petroleum) over oil.

They're largely for a hostage deal.
Israelis are put in the spot to trade present hostages for future ones. Trading the present hostages at any price is still a minority position in Israel, however.
And the support for a Rafah operation from the Israeli side is still also the overwhelming majority.
"at any price"
the only price is to stop the murdering of Palestinians. but Israelis feel it is their god given right to periodically excise large parts of the population of helots.
The Palestinians need a great leader to arise. Someone who understands that they are going backwards with their current strategy. Trying to use violence against Israel is a death wish. The Palestinians need to be re branded. All fantatics need to be removed. The school curriculum must remove teaching hate against Jews. Money needs to be spent on state of the art infrastructure.
I don't disagree with the this, but the State of Israel's settlements have expanded so much that two states are kind of impossible. And there's no way these groups are gonna have multi-national state.
Highly unlikely any positive change happens. The rest of the world seems determined to make sure Hamas stays in power, so hard to see any mechanism they dont stay in power. And at the end of the day, the Palestinian resistance is a business designed first and foremost to enrich leadership. And as a business, Hamas has had a very bad last few quarters, so it is going to be ve
Nothing is keeping Hamas in power more than fear. When people are scared, they elect strongmen to protect them from existential threats. This is Bush in 2004 or Trump in 2016 and probably in 2024. There's nothing uniquely Islamic about this dynamic.
Hamas is smart i give them that
They fire rockets from rafah. Israel closes border. Omg Israel not letting in aid
They're good

They hit Karem Shalom and I can't figure any other reason besides trying to block incoming aid. Bombed by Israel and held hostage by Hamas. Sucks to be in Gaza.
no they hit a military outpost bc there is a war going on. like you guys are losing it. now you want Hamas to abide by a ceasefire while Israel murders them all day every day.
do you know about the incubator lie or not?
how dare Hamas shoot at our soldiers who are sniping children all day every day and firing tank blasts at paramedics. not sure if its possible to be more insufferably entitled.
hearing reports that hamas have been given a week to decide whether to die in a month or in four months
Hamas is literally anything that Israel supporters dont like. they called South Africa Hamas ffs. they called college campuses "little Gazas".
Sounds like they won't get there on a hostage deal, and Rafah very soon (with Biden's conditions).
Think this was all stuff predicted in here. The Hezbollah situation being one of the obvious other ones.
hamas is the organisation that arranged the rapes and murders of israeli civilians on oct 7
lol at anyone still believing the rape hoax
surprised you didnt mention beheaded babies
the confirmed rapes perpetrated by hamas on oct 7 were highly ungentlemanly acts, and the organisation must be brought to justice
israel cannot live next door to a government that targets israelis for rape and murder, and whose leader says that oct 7 was a dress rehearsal for the main event
Yes and I knew it was full of **** propaganda at the time.
