Weekly anti-gov’t, hostage protests draw on Purim themes with thousands in attendance
[IsraelTimes] Speakers at both rallies liken 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...
captives to Purim story heroine; 10 arrested after demonstration in Tel Aviv where participants blocked roads, lit bonfires outside minister’s home.

Who needs an external enemy to destroy Israel when there are far left activists eager to wage war from inside the lines.
Thousands gathered in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem for weekly Saturday night protests against the government and for a hostagedeal, with speakers at both types of demonstrations drawing from the themes of the Jewish holiday of Purim, which began on Saturday night.

This week’s rallies took place as talks between Israel and Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
for a temporary truce and hostage release were kicked into gear in Doha with speakers at both protests urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to close a deal as soon as possible.

At the Jerusalem hostage protest near the Prime Minister’s Residence, Hostages and Missing Families Forum organizer Tom Barkai said, "No holiday will ever be a real holiday without the return of all the hostages."

RELEASING ’HUMAN SCUM’ IN EXCHANGE FOR THE HOSTAGES
The Tel Aviv anti-government protest took place outside the Kirya military where demonstrators called for early elections.

Many attendees wore shirts calling for the immediate dismissal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the release of hostages, as well as shirts identified with various protest groups from the anti-judicial overhaul demonstrations that occurred weekly prior to October 7.
As has been observed before, they're the same people, just pivoting to a new excuse in the hope that more will be swayed to support them this time — Victory 2015 was sponsored and trained by Barack Obama’s State Department in concert with specialists from the Democratic Party.
Ami Dror, a high-tech entrepreneur and one of the leaders of the "Elections Now" movement, lauded the protesters before him as "heroes who went to war with a government of cowards."

CLASHES WITH POLICE
In the wake of the festivities between police and protesters at last week’s demonstrations, cops in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem intensified their crowd control measures in hopes of preventing ralliers from blocking traffic.

Participants from neighboring hostage and anti-government protests in Tel Aviv blocked off the northern section of Begin Street after their respective demonstrations finished, lighting bonfires in the middle of the road.

Calls against the government were echoed across the protesting crowds as the bonfires were set up. Attendees pleaded for the US to pressure the Netanyahu government to pursue a hostage deal, crying out in English "SOS USA" and "Help, help, we need your help."
Can’t get the Israeli public to follow your lead, so you demand outside intervention? How anti-democratic of you.
When Fire and Rescue Services arrived at the demonstration, protesters pulled on the hoses to prevent them from extinguishing the bonfires, while the police attempted to forcibly disperse them.

Despite the police barricades installed along Ayalon Highway, a group of demonstrators made a break for the major road and succeeded only briefly in lighting a few bonfires before being dispersed.

Protesters made a couple more attempts to block the Ayalon before returning to Sapir Street and blocking it, lighting a bonfire along the way. The commanding police officer then declared the protest illegal and called on its participants to return south and for cops to use force to remove them from the street.

A group split off and made its way to MK Gideon Sa’ar’s apartment block, where they called on the politician to ensure that far-right ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich do not gain entry into the war cabinet.

The protesters also rallied outside the home of Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf, from Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit party, calling for the release of the hostages and lighting a bonfire before being dispersed by the police.

Tel Aviv police said they arrested ten protesters over the course of the evening.

After the protests in Jerusalem, a group of roughly a dozen people attempted to block the road outside Netanyahu’s official residence. The group included Mai Alvini-Peri, the grandson of Hamas-held hostage Haim Peri.

Although last Saturday night, attempts to block the road descended into festivities between police and protesters, the civil disobedience this week quickly fizzled out with only a few willing to partake in stifling traffic.

Sitting in the middle of the street, protesters chanted through megaphones that there is no routine without a return of the hostages and demanded their release.

Police ordered the demonstrators to return to the sidewalks, and then dispersed them without much resistance within a couple of minutes.
