The dimensions of opposition within Israel to the war are striking. וֹUnfortunately, undoubtedly, vast majority still supports it. However, more and more voices are beginning to be heard.
Here are a couple of especially interesting examples:
A fascinating blog by two friends from Sderot (Israel) and Sajaia refugee camp (Gaza): "Both sides were blaming each other. Israel claiming that the Hamas is not abiding to the ceasefire since there were occasional rockets and the arms smuggling continued, and Hamas claiming that Israel is not fulfilling its part since the siege continued."
Israeli soldiers who refuse to participate in the war:
A public letter from Israelis: "We are calling on the world to stop Israeli violence and not allow the continuation of the brutal occupation. We call on the world to Condemn and not become an accomplice in Israel's crimes."
Facebook groups:
- Israelis Say NO to the attack on Gazza!
- B'Tselem
- Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies
Protests:
- Die-in Against War in Gaza
- Protest in Tel-Aviv
This is in addition to tens of op-eds in the main-stream media that criticize the Israeli attacks and call for immediate withdraw.
