Thousands rallied across Israel on Saturday night, calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ousting amidst Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza.
Crowds gathered in Tel Aviv to rally against Netanyahu, while others protested outside the premier's private residence in the northern city of Caesarea.
Maj. Gen. (res.) Guy Zur said at the Tel Aviv protest, "I asked myself, 'Why protest now? During a time of war, while our soldiers are united at the front?' To me, the answer is simple: It is our duty towards the next generations, because he who weakened us and sacrificed us for his political needs and love of power, is not suited to lead us to victory."

How do you get hostages home without going in to try and get them when Hamas wont hand them over? Seems like a contradiction, no?
Israel's military was so poorly organised that soldiers communicated with each other via spontaneous WhatsApp groups and relied on social media posts for their information during the 7 October attacks, a New York Times investigation has found.
The IDF did not have any plan to respond to a "large-scale Hamas attack", the newspaper said, in a report detailing the apparent failings of the military in response to Hamas's sweeping raids of southern Israel.
Current and former soldiers and officers told reporters that they "made it up as they went along".
Soldiers rushing into battle were only armed for brief combat, and helicopter pilots were told to follow the news to pick their targets, the investigation said.
Yaakov Amidror, a retired Israeli general and former adviser to Benjamin Netanyahu, was quoted by the NYT as saying: "The army does not prepare itself for things it thinks are impossible."
It comes after reports in Israeli media that military and intelligence officials had dismissed highly-detailed reports of Hamas's planned attacks on kibbutzes along the border prior to the 7 October raids.

Stop bombing civilians and civilian infrastructure like hospitals , Hamas have handed hostages back during the ceasefire and have offered to release others but that was refused by Netanyahu as he has bigger fish to fry , the hostages are a useful tool for him to justify his agenda as has been shown by those hostages who have lost their lives due to Israeli bombing and shooting by IDF.
Like the ghost of Christmas present Netanyahu's time grows short , I look forward to his demise.
Yes you are one of the jew haters that frequently post in anti jew threads, you just hit bottom game over.

Cry me a river buttercup.
Oh and Jew is spelled with a capital "J" , but as you can't differentiate between hating a Despotic government and a people I doubt you understand capitalisation and the reasons for it.

The way this campaign is going has some darker tones in what is being fought for. To take another year to finish this job as many are homeless, job less, food less, sanitation less. Perhaps a Dresden response would of been better in achieving Zionist aims, at least it would be over by now. To drag out such suffering is building a resistance, just how pain works.
At least 100 trucks a day are making it across the boarder as the international community could finally agree on something. It use to be 500 trucks a day pre Oct 7th when the population was 2.3 Million. As for what it really is now is going to take time to get a clearer picture.
There is a lot about middle East politics I don't know. While Israel has a two tiered justice system based on what side of the line one is born, I don't see any positive change happening anytime soon. It is peaceful when everyone is dead, is that really the best solution? God already has death sorted.

So any critism of Israel or their actions makes you a jew hater? Pathetic.
I bet you are a Muslim hater you racist.
About 30 years ago, the late Lubavitcher Rebbe told a young Netanyahu that “he, Benjamin Netanyahu, will be Israel’s prime minister, who will pass the scepter to the Messiah.”
The Lubavitcher Rebbe said this during the election campaign in the 1990s, before Netanyahu’s first term in office.
Today, Israel is in a kind of apocalyptic mood, Bibi is prime minister and the scepter is in his hand. Will Netanyahu, the nation and the world soon welcome the Messiah?

Arrest the protestors and charge them with insurrection, including the general, and throw them in prison for 20+ years. Problem solved.
