There's been anti-war protests in Tel Aviv every weekend for over a year. You're not going to hear about that on your alternative media that's working to dehumanize Israelis.
Protests for hostage release, not to stop the war crimes.
How many of those protests are about Palestinians?
The vast majority of them, and the largest of them, are about saving the "hostages" and opposing Netanyahu.
One of the largest protests so far: https://www.thejc.com/news/israel/israelis-protest-gaza-war-netanyahu-wftw9xpj
Not a single mention of Palestinians.
I realized this last year, and it's really tough to digest. I can't believe so many people in that country simply don't care.
Lots of propaganda. Likely their entire lives. And the lived reality of attacks from hamas over the years to lend credibility to it. It's sadly not surprising. Whoever controls the flow of information controls the people.
The protests are for the release of hostages, and explicitly not to end the wars, the people actually trying to stop the war are a tiny minority that was active in giving aid to gaza, and are portrayed by most of the population as terrorist sympathizers.
Whoops! Looks like to war may soon be over... because Hamas is going to release the hostages.
Those protests are not about Palestine. It's insane what's going on over there...
Sure. And you had people handcuffing themselves to the White House fence protesting the US invasion of Afghanistan as far out as 2012. But these have been a tiny, vocal minority. They're in no way representative of the public (much less the Israeli media or their corrupt plutocracy).
