After ban lifted, 100s of Antifa, etc protest in Haifa against Hamas war while in J’lem overexcited anti-Bibi protesters demand new elections

2024-01-21

Getting their weekly fresh air and sunshine while scratching their anti-Bibi itch. Here’s hoping someone was photographing faces.

[IsraelTimes] Some 300 people chant against Israel’s war on Hamas
Hamas

...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
in Haifa’s Gay Paree Square, flanked by a smaller counterprotest of people holding up multiple Israeli flags.

The anti-war protest Saturday, the first licensed one in the northern district since October 7, features an array of flags that reflects the ideological diversity among the 40-odd organizations that teamed up to hold the controversial event despite initial refusal by the authorities to allow it.

“Awright, everybody: maaaaaaasks off!”

Among the flags on display are that of Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
, the former Communist Party of Israel,

...what fig leaf do they call themselves now?

the rainbow flag and the Paleostinian one.

So much for pretending they’re Israeli patriots.

Arab and Jewish participants chant about what they call Israel’s "genocide" against Paleostinians and call the government "fascist
...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
The protesters "know we don’t agree on everything but we’re united by a single cry," Amjad Shbita, the secretary-general of the Arab-Israeli left-wing party Hadash, says during a speech at the rally.

He reads out a list of five demands agreed upon by the organizing groups, which include Breaking the Silence, Yesh Gvul, Machsom Watch, Rabbis for Human Rights and Zochrot. The demands include an immediate end to the fighting in Gaza; a comprehensive prisoner exchange with Hamas; an end to the "political persecution" of Arabs in Israel, as Shbita put it; "full equality" for Arabs; and recognition that it is "legitimate to live as an Arab and have opinions," he says.

The counter-protesters aren’t buying the demands. "This is a rally meant to extract an Israeli surrender. To help terrorism, to harm Israel," says Yarden Or, who is protesting together with her two siblings and mother against the anti-war rally. "The talk of equality is just the wolf’s sheep clothing," she says. "It’s a pro-Hamas rally."

Yep.

At the anti-war rally, Ayman Odeh, a politician for Hadash, dismisses the allegations by pointing to the slogans and flags on display. "Do you see any Hamas banners?" Odeh, who has in the past called Paleostinian bully boyz "deaders," tells The Times of Israel.

Taqqiya.

The protest follows a petition filed by the organizers to the High Court of Justice against the police’s initial refusal to allow them to march on Saturday night in Haifa. The rally on Gay Paree Square on Saturday afternoon is a compromise agreed upon by the police following the petition.

‘Set a date for elections now,’ demand protesters in Jerusalem

[IsraelTimes] Hundreds gather outside the President’s Residence in Jerusalem for a protest organized by the Safeguarding Our Shared Home group, calling for new elections.

It’s been several weeks that the group, which organized last year’s weekly anti-judicial overhaul protests, has been calling for new elections.

The first speaker is Sigalit Tchernihovsky, whose son, Or Tchernihovsky, was killed at the Supernova desert rave on October 7.

“I’m asking for wiser agreements, for unified thinking,” says Tchernihovsky, who stops several times to swallow tears as she describes 29-year-old “Oriki,” who was “full of light” like his name.

“We want a different kind of leadership,” she demands.

The second and final speaker is Avner Vilan, a former Defense Ministry official who is now the CEO of a startup.

Vilan tells the crowd that he knows it feels unnatural to protest with soldiers on the borders, with hostages still held captive in Gaza, with evacuees not in their homes.

“People told you it’s not fitting to come protest tonight, during a war,” says Vilan.

Indeed.

“The problem is, no one will say when the war will be over.

When Israel wins because Hamas has been destroyed.

The government is running the war as if it’s a TikTok story. How can the IDF win if they have no idea what the plan is for after the war?”

Do you have a plan, or is it just to pooh-pooh anything the Netanyahu government proposes?

“Our demand is simple,” says Vilan. “Set a date for elections now.”

Stick it in your ear, you self-indulgent, overpaid tool of rich Progressives. The grown-ups are busy.

Hostages’ families rally at Netanyahu’s home, demand deal

Die unerzogenen Idioten.

[IsraelTimes] Relatives of the hostages held in Gazoo rally outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private home in Caesarea after they camped out overnight to protest what they said was the government’s inaction in securing the release of their loved ones, asserting that "time has run out" for those held by forces of Evil in the Strip.
