It’s too late for Carmel. Her blood is on your hands, Netanyahu. But you can still save the others,
We have to see how this momentum grows because eventually, it has to lead to some political action,
It takes more than street demonstrations and strikes to unsettle the hold that he has on power,
Netanyahu is just holding on because he realises the longer the war goes, the longer he'll be in power. He'd certainly lose any election that would immediately follow a ceasefire,
The problem is that the other way of bringing pressure - that is, from the United States - has not been forthcoming,
There is almost no evidence that Israelis generally are concerned about the death and the destruction that has been inflicted upon Gaza,
It's just unthinkable that the United States would threaten to withdraw support for Israel in terms of arms supplies, or support for Israel in the United Nations General Assembly – all of those factors that have helped to lead us into this dire mess,
We are asking our government to stop everything and to make a deal,
We must stop the abandonment of the hostages... I have come to the conclusion that only our intervention can shake those who need to be shaken,
Were it not for the delays, sabotage, and excuses" in months of mediation efforts, the six hostages "would likely still be alive,
For this to work, parties to the conflict must respect the temporary area pauses,
Whoever accepts the murder of civilians for the Prime Minister should stay home, ... Those who don’t: in memory of Carmel, take to the streets — stop the abandonment, bring the state to a halt, get a deal.”
We want them back living, not in coffins!”
It was possible to save them in a deal,
I feel that tonight is the last chance for a turning point — people out in the streets tonight understand that what we have not been able to achieve so far into the war, we will not be able to ever reach unless a decision is made,
It's a mix of grief and anger,
The problem is not in Washington. The problem is not in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. The problem is actually with Yahya Sinwar and his gang … gang! ... in the Gaza Strip,
We are trying. We are doing whatever we can actually to bring them home. … This is our responsibility,
We are getting body bags instead of a deal."
Hamas is not our government, they're not accountable to us, and the people who are accountable to us should not be so disattached from the Israeli people, public opinion, and the world opinion that calls for a long time to prioritize human lives and the hostages."
