| [IsraelTimes] At least one person has been arrested as police ordered protesters leaving an anti-war demonstration in Habima Square to clear off Ben Tziyon Boulevard, where they began marching toward the central King George Street. Protesters sat down and lit a fire on King George. Police shoved some of them to the ground. Hundreds in Tel Aviv demand end to war: ‘It’s a duty to refuse’ [IsraelTimes] About 1,000 people gather at Tel Aviv’s Habima Square for an anti-war protest organized by an Israeli-Palestinian coalition of peace activists and human rights groups. Speakers also assail Israel’s actions in the West Bank and the release of a settler accused of having shot dead Palestinian activist Odeh Hathaleen this week, even as Hathaleen’s relatives remain in prison. In a rare occurrence for a Tel Aviv protest of this size, one of the speakers at the demonstration, actor Yossi Zabari, explicitly accuses Israel of genocide — “the word that frightens us more than the deed itself,” he says. Protesters hoist pictures of emaciated Gazan children and Israeli hostages. A large screen on stage reads, in Hebrew and Arabic, “Enough with the killing, enough with the starvation, enough with the abandonment.” “Right now in Gaza, there is a little girl hungry for food and a little boy thirsty for water,” says Rula Daoud, a co-leader of the binational socialist group Standing Together. “I don’t know how much energy the boy and girl have left in their bodies to shout, but I know I can shout for them.” She calls for a joint Jewish-Arab struggle “to sabotage life here until the government breaks.” |
