‘Enough!’: 120K attend kickoff of 24-hour rally for hostages’ release after 100 days; 1000s rally for new elections in Haifa
One completely understands why they’re upset, but just a little stiff upper lipness would be helpful to achieving their objective. Also, it would be awfully nice if — in their passion — they nonetheless did not allow themselves to be tools of the paid anti-Bibi left.

An estimated 120,000 people attended the beginning of a 24-hour rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday to mark 100 days since the hostages were kidnapped into Gaza during Hamas

’s October 7 terror onslaught, which sparked the ongoing war in Gaza.

The figure provided by organizers would make the rally one of the largest held in Israel over the past year, which saw regular mass demonstrations against the government’s controversial plan to overhaul the judiciary.

Speakers during the early hours of the rally that kicked off after sundown at what has been dubbed "Hostage Square" in central Tel Aviv included relatives of the roughly 132 hostages still in Gaza, French President Emmanuel Macron, US Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew and former Supreme Court president Dorit Beinisch.

The family members of the hostages addressing the gathering warned that time was running out to save their loved ones, expressing a further heightened frustration with the government, which they argued was not doing enough to save those that it neglected on October 7 when some 240 people were kidnapped into Gaza by Paleostinian terrorists.

The rally took place as an agreement moved forward to have medications transferred to the hostages for the first. The medications were reportedly handed over to Qatar

i officials on Saturday night and were then slated to be handed over to the Red Thingy or a different third party, which would be responsible for bringing the meds to the hostages.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again pledged during a Saturday night presser to exhaust every effort to secure the release of the remaining hostages.

However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by...
he said that just as he cannot imagine what the families of the hostages are going through, they too are not able to fully grasp the calculations that Israel’s decision-makers need to make. The remark suggested that other considerations need to be taken into account in negotiations to free those held captive.

Critics of this stance have argued that the government must pay whatever price is necessary to free the hostages, given that the state had a responsibility to protect its citizens and failed to do so on October 7.
The price, my darling idiots, is to surrender the Land of Israel to Hamas, to be made over into a Muslim caliphate paradise fertilized by the blood of the Jews who lived there, starting with those currently held in captivity. It’s like the only way, back in the day, to free the Jews and others from the Nazi death camps was to defeat them in war so soundly that even three generations the Germans do not consider offensive war as a viable option.
Prior to the start of the rally, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum issued a statement calling on the war cabinet to hold their Sunday meeting at the square and stressed that every delay in reaching a deal was resulting in the deaths of more hostages.

Nobel Prize-winning biologist Aaron Ciechanover spoke forcefully at the rally, referring to the "new levels of barbarism" committed by Hamas holy warriors on October 7 and the residents of the Gaza border communities who were abandoned by the government and army on that day.

"Why did we build a state if we can’t ensure the most basic right to security?" asked Ciechanover. "The leadership failed, and the army didn’t protect its citizens. If [the hostages] don’t come back now, the government can’t look its citizens in the eye. It’s a black stain on the forehead of the Israeli state."

"Sadly and maddeningly, the ordeal of their captivity continues," said US Ambassador Jacob Lew, using the Hebrew word, "achshav," now, to emphasize the US commitment to bringing home the hostages now.

The rally was planned to last through 8 p.m. Sunday night, with a full schedule that includes more than 50 artists.

Though the number of demonstrators fell since its 120,000 peak, thousands remained throughout the night.
Interesting bit from the Times of Israel liveblog:
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum also firmly denies any connection to a small group of protesters who briefly blocked Tel Aviv’s Ayalon Highway earlier this evening, before being dispersed by police.

The blocking of the highway came soon after a separate demonstration calling for new elections was held at Habima Square.

Thousands rally in Haifa to demand early elections to replace Netanyahu

[IsraelTimes] Thousands of demonstrators call for early elections to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at a protest rally in Haifa.

Former defense minister Moshe Ya’alon, a Netanyahu ally-turned-critic, accuses him of creating the circumstances that allowed Hamas to launch the October 7 attack on Israel in which terrorists killed some 1,200 people and abducted around 240 to Gaza.

“The ultimate responsibility of the defendant,” Ya’alon says in reference to the prime minister’s corruption trial, “owes also to his insane policy that views Hamas as an asset and the Palestinian Authority as a liability.”

“He tried to buy Gaza and [Hamas leader Yahya] Sinwar with suitcases of cash, which Hamas used to arm itself and grow stronger and attack our cities and kill our citizens,” Ya’alon charges.

Organized by a left-leaning group called People’s Protest Haifa,
...sounds like communists to me. Who is paying them to show up?
the rally at Horev Center is the second major anti-government protest in the northern coastal city since October 7. Some participants of the rally, which is headlined “Authorized for Publication: Elections Now,” plan to continue from Haifa to Caesarea to protest near Netanyahu’s private residence there.
