+972Magazine [published in Israel]
April 5, 2026For the past month, Iddo Elam has been gathering with fellow Israeli radical left activists in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square to protest the war with Iran. As dissent spreads to the political center and these anti-war demonstrations expand, demonstrators face violent crackdowns by Israeli police — while opposition lawmakers are still nowhere to be seen. Also:
- ‘They already shoot us for no reason. Now they have a death penalty’
- Israeli leaders are condemning settler attacks. It’s a smokescreen
- Fifty years on, does Land Day still matter for Palestinians in Israel?

These protestors arent bothered by israeli war crimes, they are bothered by those crimes being exposed.
There are plenty of Israelis within Israel who are opposed to Israel’s war crimes and other crimes against humanity. If you doubt this, I recommend checking out the journalistic outlet +972, which has an editorial team of both Israelis and Palestinians, and have been speaking out against the Israeli state since 2010. They’ve written at length about how hard it is to operate within Israel when journalism such as theirs is heavily suppressed, but much of their work is also available in Hebrew, because they aren’t just writing for an international audience
Its good to hear that, thanks!
What are you basing that on?
The linked article roundly suggests that the protestors in question are staunchly anti-war and largely a non-zionist cohort.
It’s still so weird to me to see “cohort” used this way
