Is there a shifting attitude in Israeli society towards the killing of Palestinian and suffering? Polls last year, showing that 34% population believed Netanyahu's military response was not enough against Gaza. However, most recent polls from last month showing a much stronger desire to end the conflict.
While the human ordeal of Gaza is largely absent from mainstream Israeli media, there is a small but growing movement calling for an end to the war and to stop the massacre of human life in Gaza. A growing number of letters written by army and air force reservists, retired and even serving officers, have demanded the government end the war, not only in the name of Israeli lives but also innocent civilians in Gaza.
Standing Together, a progressive movement of Israelis and Palestinians, decided to hold an anti-war protest on Holocaust Memorial Day that was primarily dedicated to the children who had been needlessly killed by Israel in Gaza.
Yet after applying for permission, police told the group they were banned from holding up posters of children killed in Gaza and certain phrases such as “ethnic cleansing” were also forbidden. It was not the first time activists had faced such pushback; at other protests, police have regularly confiscated any posters bearing the faces of Gaza’s killed women and children or used force to break them up.
