Thousands took to the streets across Israel Saturday night to call for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ouster and new elections, in demonstrations spanning from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to Haifa and Caesarea in the north and Be’er Sheva in the south.

At a demonstration in front of the President’s Residence in Jerusalem, Yosef Angel, bereaved father and grandfather of 17-year-old Ofir Angel, who was freed from Hamas captivity in Gaza, said “You stand at the head, and are responsible for the October 7 holocaust. You are trying to escape responsibility and look for someone else to blame, shame on you.”

    This is a policy supported by multiple prior Israeli governments that amounted to the extrajudicial assassination of any Palestinian or Lebanese resident suspected of being a militant. This is the “two state solution” that Israelis supported. One in which the Israelis can launch rockets and fire bullets out of Israel uncontested and Palestinians are expected to accept that anyone an Israel kills must have deserved it.
