Thousands took to the streets across Israel Saturday night to call for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ouster and new elections, in demonstrations spanning from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to Haifa and Caesarea in the north and Be’er Sheva in the south.

At a demonstration in front of the President’s Residence in Jerusalem, Yosef Angel, bereaved father and grandfather of 17-year-old Ofir Angel, who was freed from Hamas captivity in Gaza, said “You stand at the head, and are responsible for the October 7 holocaust. You are trying to escape responsibility and look for someone else to blame, shame on you.”

    One state solution. No country gets to dress up in a liberal democracy wig while sporting ethno state raybands. Apartheid states don’t get to exist in a functioning democracy.

      I completely agree with your stance on apartheid states, but just so you know, they are called Ray Bans

      The answer is a federal system consisting of at least 3 separate political institutions but nobody who’s participating in this conversation anymore really cares about solving the problem…

            Zionists have been occupying Palestine for 75 years. This is oppressor and oppressed. An internationally backed military super power and an indigenous armed resistance. This is asymmetrical.

                Mandatory Palestine encompassed all the land Israel inhabits. That land was intended to be given to the Palestinians before Israel waged a campaign of terrorism against the British and used post-WW2 sympathies to gain it.

                They are occupying Palestine.

            Netanyahu is acting like Hitler in this case. Remind me how peace with the Nazi’s was achieved again?

                They’re both genocidal maniacs that want to kill all people that don’t belong to their group to expand their Lebensraum.

                The Nazi’s are the most fitting comparison for israel.

                Anyone with knowledge about the Holocaust can recognize that israel does everything the Nazi’s did. Murder people with more advanced weaponry. Violate all human rights. Torture camps, mass executions, mass child murder. Stealing of land.

                They’re only missing the cremation ovens.

                What? Israel is currently committing genocide, even in areas they successfully occupied. Nazis are the most fitting comparison I’ve seen.

        The choices at this point are a flawed one state uniting two bodies, or one state with a successful ethnic cleansing. Two state solution has been taken off the table by illegal settlements of the west bank and, soon, Gaza.
