“We hope the world hears us and knows that the people of Israel are not the government of Israel,” said one protester.

Israelis protested on Saturday night, calling for a ceasefire and the resignation of hardline Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Tens of thousands took to the streets in Tel Aviv to demand that the government reach a deal with Hamas to secure the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza.

They also called for new elections, accusing Netanyahu of prolonging the conflict to keep himself in power.

      Biden’s primary stated reason for defending Israel is a promise to his dying father.

      Not his conscience, not the people alive and around him today, not the people who voted for him, not the people who he’s depending on to get re-elected.

      Sorry America, an 80 year old white man is making an undemocratic choice due to a promise he made to another old white man. Awesome.
