OMG this man is pure gold This is fairness and justice for both sides who are going through such demonization stems simply from unfamiliarity.

And 35 years of terror attacks are conditions that give rise to far more fundamentalistic views of Israeli Right wingers.

" I want to explain why I booed Netanyahu tonight at Hostages Square. 💡 I only upload posts that have received broad support - thousands of likes - like this one (and of course because of their quality). " It’s simple — I see there’s a mobilization order and a unified talking point sheet for the whole choir: Likud ministers and MKs, Benny Gantz, mouthpieces like Amit Segal, and confused journalists — so I want to explain why I booed Netanyahu. I booed Netanyahu because I despise him. With utter contempt. From the depths of my heart and soul. Because for two years we’ve been fighting for the return of the hostages — in demonstrations, rallies, marches, and events — and he’s done everything to sabotage, blur, stall, lie, and deceive. He hasn’t visited Hostages Square even once, despite it being adjacent to the courtroom where he spends his trial days. He divided, incited, and turned hostage families and the Hostages Forum against each other. He created a fake and unrepresentative forum called “Tikva” (“Hope”) that fought against the return of the hostages — a group he met dozens of times — while refusing to meet families who hadn’t passed political screening. He made the return of the hostages a political issue, and turned the families and protesters into enemies of the nation. He violated the previous deal and ceasefire a day before more hostages could have returned. He appointed Dermer to head the negotiation team specifically to ensure that no hostage would return — because that would bring down his government. He launched a reoccupation of Gaza knowing full well that he was abandoning hostages and sacrificing soldiers in vain. He ordered an attack in Qatar on senior Hamas officials who had gathered to approve a hostage deal — just to sabotage it too. And he did all of this while wearing a hostage pin on his lapel. The only reason a deal was eventually signed and the war stopped is because the Americans and Qataris realized who they were dealing with — and forced him to give in. And beyond that, he destroyed the country, built up, funded, and maintained Hamas — and brought upon us the greatest disaster in our history. Thirty years ago, he also led the incitement campaign against the brave Prime Minister who pursued peace, Yitzhak Rabin — marching in front of a coffin and a noose in Ra’anana Junction, and fanning the flames of hatred from the balcony in Zion Square. He hasn’t stopped inciting, dividing, and poisoning since. Which is a bit more serious than booing, with all due respect to tonight’s outrage dictated from the cuckoo’s nest. That’s why. And one more thing: the contempt will follow him everywhere. Until his last day. And I’ll end with a quote by Eli Elbag about Netanyahu: “The only thing that will bear your name will be cemeteries.” (In the photo: Vitkof, Kushner, and Ivanka Trump arriving at a place Netanyahu and his courtiers have never set foot in — and being received with royal honors, as they should.)

Equivalent to 3.5M Americans. Right now in the Hostage square.

Yair Golan's party: The Democrats 4 mandates out of 120 = 3.3% of the population. An important note: 4 more mandate of its retroactively merged party Meretz were burned in the last elections due to getting under the treshold of 3.25%, therefore its real power is 6.6% of the population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Democrats_(Israel) Spiral Dynamics: 🟠🟢🟢

Gantz's party: Blue And White 8 mandates out of 120 = 6.6% of the population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_and_White_(political_party) Spiral Dynamics: 🔵🟠🟢

Lapid's party: There Is a Future 23 mandates out of 120 = 19% of the population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesh_Atid Spiral Dynamics: 🟠🟢 1. I assume it based on a quite healthy Blue I don't think this is the main emphasize of this party so no need to mention it. 2. At least half of Israelis interpret "Zionism" as simply Jews aspiration to have their own land. I suggest to not get too seriously into this word. It is a tricky word with many problems to it in my opinion. This word is being distorted and interpreted completely differently depending on the specific camp's pre-existing views, inside the country and abroad.

Netanyahu's party: Likud 32 mandates out of 120 = 27% of the population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likud Spiral Dynamics: 🔵🟠 Note: Netanyahu over the years made the party less liberal as he added more and more members who are convenient to him politically. Therefore this party in the past had a little bit of stage green too, as secondary and relatively minor.

@Breakingthewall You are right this is dangerous, as long as the government refuses to establish a permanent border (in a form of secured perimeter).

Smotrich Party: The Religious Zionism Have 7 mandates out of 120 = 6% of the population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_Zionist_Party Spiral Dynamics: 🔴🔵🔵 Intuitively I feel Blue is much more dominant here, but not only. Some Red most likely exists - in the extreme margins. Religious Zionism sector has also healthy aspects of contribution, helping others, love of the land, partnerships. No more stage Red from now on in Israeli parties (luckily 😶‍🌫️) the hardest part is behind us.

Ben Gvir Party: Jewish Strength (translated) The most extreme party have ever been in Israel. Have 4 mandates out of 120 = 3.3% of the population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otzma_Yehudit Spiral Dynamics: 🔴🔵

Israelis stance on Palestinian state is quite complex even after Oct7

A sample of the public's diversity of opinions (again, emphsizing on those unseen in the international media) regarding the continuation of the war from recent months from posts I added to the news thread.

Actually I was surprised. Generally she addresses rational reasons like in the times she talked a lot about the withdrawal issues of her and her father and still reminds it sometimes.

There is a deal! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPk53wliKVc/?igsh=bjU5OGJpaDFwdWI5

@Hardkill Yellow differs from Blue in his flowness, flexibility, subtleness, harmony, curiosity and all of those can be imprinted into one's conservative lifestyle.

All those things seemed very bad and not honest to my eyes as an Israeli when I saw and heard about them. This is the intuitive feeling I remember. And yes, boycott is exactly what will make the second side to soften and agree, very smart. They have rejected couple of serious offers including actual Israeli withdrawals in the 90s and 00s.

The Facebook feed is full of posts on oct7 due to the memorial day. I'll add to here one of them: " On October 7, 2023, I understood for the first time what true shock is. Not the kind that lasts a moment — but the kind that strikes the soul. I felt the air of the world change. Suddenly, every story I had ever heard as a child about the surprise of the Yom Kippur War came alive. It was no longer a distant tale with dates and black-and-white photos, but a living, breathing, screaming reality. In an instant, I understood what it means for a person to lose the sense of safety in their own home — when an iron shelter door or a guard at the kibbutz gate no longer promise anything. When words like pogrom, massacre, Black Sabbath, and Holocaust stop belonging to history lessons and become words in one’s personal diary. That morning — which was still night in the United States, where I was staying — I grew up. I aged. Something cracked inside me. Something in the smile, the innocence, the faith that “it won’t happen again” — simply fell away. Suddenly, even the simplest routines — making coffee, turning on the radio, smiling at a child on the way to school, or writing a few lines in the next book — carried a different weight. Two years have passed since. Time, they say, heals everything. But it’s not true. Time doesn’t heal — it only teaches us how to walk with our scars. In these two years I’ve been asking myself what home really is. Is it the walls? The address? Or perhaps home is the people we choose to keep in our hearts. Maybe it’s the memory of a scent, a hug, a gaze that says, “I’m here.” I’ve come to understand that home is both what we’ve lost and what we rebuild — brick by brick, hope by hope. And perhaps that is the essence of life itself: to realize how fragile it all is. How temporary. How quickly everything can fall apart — and how amazing it is that a human being, time and again, chooses to gather the pieces, place them one upon another, and create a new shape out of them. On October 7, I learned what pain is. But since then, slowly, I am also learning what rebirth means. It doesn’t happen in a single day, nor with a cry. It begins with a breath. A look. A decision to get up in the morning and say: I’m still here. And I still believe in good. In memory of Dvir Karp Yuval Abramovitz https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Zs4NiDm2j/
