Protesters demand elections as hostage families seethe: ‘You could have saved them’
Deliberately blindered idiots.
[IsraelTimes] Weekly Hostages Square rally highlights 6 captives whose bodies were recovered from Gaza, as Netanyahu is accused of thwarting talks in Egypt; 3 protesters said detained in Jerusalem

Thousands of Israelis erupted into the streets across the country Saturday to demand new elections as hostages’ families held their weekly rally at Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, where they excoriated the government for failing to save six captives whose bodies were retrieved from 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...
earlier this week.

A group representing people detained in anti-government demonstrations said three protesters were arrested in Jerusalem.

Titled "You Could Have Saved Them," this week’s Hostages Square rally featured Ayala Metzger, daughter-in-law of Yoram Metzger, one of the six whose bodies were recovered overnight Monday-Tuesday, and Eyal Mor, whose uncle Avraham Munder’s body was another one of those retrieved.

Also featured were Aviva Siegel, whom Hamas
..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...
released in November and whose husband Keith remains in captivity; Michael Levy, brother of hostage Or Levy; and Gil Dickmann, cousin of hostage Carmel Gat.

The speakers called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to sign a hostage and ceasefire deal.

Netanyahu’s insistence on Israel remaining in the Philadelphi Corridor, which separates Gaza from Egypt, in order to prevent arms smuggling into Gaza, has reportedly hindered the talks, after the demand was absent from a previous Israeli proposal.

"This isn’t the Philadelphi Corridor, it’s the Philadelphi spin," said Einav Zangauker, mother of hostage Matan Zangauker and a leading anti-government figure among the hostage families. The premier is "systematically thwarting the deal" with his eleventh-hour demands, she claimed.

Zangauker was speaking outside the military headquarters in Tel Aviv, where hostage families openly critical of the government hold a weekly presser ahead of the nearby Kaplan Street demonstration.

Other anti-government rallies were held in Haifa, Ness Ziona and outside Netanyahu’s private home in Caesarea, among others. A left-wing, binational rally was also held earlier in the day in the central Arab town of Taibe.

Earlier Saturday, the Peace Partnership — a coalition of leftist groups that coalesced after October 7 — and Hadash, a Jewish-Arab communist Knesset party, held a protest against the war in Gaza, preceded by a conference featuring "testimonies on the war and the unspoken horrors, with people and groups that were there."

Protesters held signs calling for the establishment of a Paleostinian state.

#3 Their single issue is Get Bibi Out. They’ve been at it since before President Obama’s State Department started organizing (and paying) them to depose him in the 2015 election. They rear up on their hind legs whenever he is the prime minister.

#4 ‘You could have saved them’

Once they are in captivity, probably not.

#6 The 2022 elections resulted in a govt with Bibi and his regular allies joining with some fringe groups to get a majority in the Knesset.

Polls since Oct 2023 have frequently shown that the electorate has moved away from Bibi's coalition. Not just because of the failure to be alert for the Oct 7 atrocities but also for some divisive moves before that, e.g., the judicial restructuring initiative. Most observers think that Naftali Bennett will be the next PM.
