In Israel, thousands of protesters have blocked roads around the country, including a major highway in Tel Aviv, burning tires, calling for the return of the hostages still held in Gaza and an end to Israel’s war on the besieged strip. The protests were led by families of hostages, and part of a nationwide “Day of Disruption.” Meanwhile, Israel’s military chief clashed with far-right ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir about Israel’s Gaza City operation, with Smotrich reportedly saying, “Whoever doesn’t evacuate, don’t let them. No water, no electricity, they can die of hunger or surrender.”

    The protesters’ answer is to go back to the status quo. Keep Palestinians subservient in concentration camps.

    They are oblivious to the suffering Zionism causes. Wouldn’t it be easier to have one secular state with full equality for everyone? Instead, they want to maintain an Ashkenazi dominated settler colonial society based on 19th century European racial hierarchy.
