I’m starting to think this Netanyahu character isn’t popular and shouldn’t be in charge of watching a bee, much less a country.
So did most of the voters, but he was able to get support of enough right wingers to stay in power. He desperately needed to, because there are lawsuits against him, which he can avoid while being in office.
Immunity in office is one of the biggest threat that can be inflicted to a republic
Wouldn’t be an issue if the right wing parties didn’t keep getting voted in
He just has to do what the conservatives say cuz he’s afraid he’ll be assassinated just like the man he replaced.
He marched to encourage people to do said assassination. So, knows first hand.
Yup. He’s a puppet leader.
When Israelis give a damn about the ongoing genocide, lmk.
It’s kind of eerie how none of the protester’s demands address the genocide of Palestinians.
Many of just against Bibi not the genocide itself
Israelis are not monolith and certainly many do care greatly.
So where are the protests about it?
From what I know the biggest concentration of Israeli Palestinians outside of Jerusalem is in the North, so they’re probably scared shitless that if they say anything Bibi will accuse them of being Hezbollah militants and send the police after them
no, I’m asking about Israeli Israelis. Where are the ordinary city-dwellers getting up and marching to protest the ongoing slaughter, as you’ll find in just about every other city in the world?
I saw an article about just that last night, but if you can imagine, it’s rather hard to find it under all the other protest news…
You’re expecting to be spoonfed by lemmy?
I’d expect at least one news report anywhere about it, if there were a significant protest movement.
Maybe Wikipedia can help. (And maybe not, if your opinion is already solid)

Did you read that page? Some of the protests were
-
Protest against humanitarian aid
-
Pro-war protests
The rest were to get the hostages back. Nothing remotely about peace or anti-genocide.

It’s good to hear that there are Israelis who have the courage to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza. I have not seen this in the news so thank you for the link.
Did you read that page yet?
Israelis domestically and abroad have primarily called for the return of hostages held by Hamas.
Some of the protests were
-
Protest against humanitarian aid
-
Pro-war protests
Nothing remotely about peace or anti-genocide, or even to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza, in fact:
On 9 November, Israeli police arrested former MK Mohammad Barakeh in Nazareth for attempting to organize an anti-war protest.[53]
The reason you have not seen “Israelis who have the courage to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza” in the news is that it’s not happening.
Jews, on the other hand, have been getting locked up in droves (and since the beginning of the latest offensive) protesting Israel’s actions.

Well Netanyahu is the one responsible for the entire shitshow.
Somehow, I find it interesting he lives in Caesarea. The site of the martyrdom of Palestinian Jews. I wonder how Bibi spells irony.
During the Bar Kokhba revolt of 132–135 ce, the Romans tortured and killed the 10 greatest leaders and sages of Palestinian Jewry, including Rabbi Akiba. Caesarea was almost certainly the place of execution of Rabbi Akiba and the others according to tradition (c. 135 ce). The death of these Ten Martyrs is still commemorated in the liturgy for Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement).
Look at all these anti-Semites! Thousands of them!
