    Did you read that page yet?

    Israelis domestically and abroad have primarily called for the return of hostages held by Hamas.

    Some of the protests were

    • Protest against humanitarian aid

    • Pro-war protests

    Nothing remotely about peace or anti-genocide, or even to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza, in fact:

    On 9 November, Israeli police arrested former MK Mohammad Barakeh in Nazareth for attempting to organize an anti-war protest.[53]

    The reason you have not seen “Israelis who have the courage to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza” in the news is that it’s not happening.

    Jews, on the other hand, have been getting locked up in droves (and since the beginning of the latest offensive) protesting Israel’s actions.

      Yes, I saw that, but there was also a section in the Wikipedia page entitled “Anti-war protests”, and some of those look like they are motivated by concern over the slaughter.
