Israel
As a result of the Israel–Hamas war, nationwide protests have occurred across Israel, including rallies, demonstrations, campaigns, and vigils. These demonstrations occurred as part of broader war-related protests occurring worldwide. Israelis domestically and abroad have primarily called for the return of hostages held by Hamas.
The biggest war-related protest movement in Israel, named "Bring Them Home Now" and aims for the return of the hostages, has demonstrated on a weekly basis in Tel Aviv near the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) headquarters.[1] Jewish Israeli anti-war activists have been targeted by far-right groups,[2] while Arab Israelis have experienced a crackdown on free speech, with individuals arrested for social media posts and likes.[2] By 22 December 2023, 67% of Israelis supported a ceasefire in exchange for the return of hostages held by Hamas.[3][4]
"Bring Them Home Now" protests
A hostage-solidarity rally in Tel Aviv on 14 October criticized the government's handling of the war and called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign.[5][6][7][8] Prisoners swaps were broadly supported amongst the Israeli population.[9] The families of hostages were particularly critical of the Netanyahu administration's handling of the war.[10][11] On 4 November, protests were held near Netanyahu's residence.[12][13]
On 25 November, protesters in Jerusalem called on Netanyahu to resign.[14] A suspected arson-originated fire was reported at a protest camp for the families of hostages; the families experienced harassment from right-wing Netanyahu supporters.[15][16] On 16 December, protesters set up tents outside the Israeli Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv and stated they would not leave until the government took up hostage negotiations again.[17] Protests against Netanyahu on 23 December in Caesarea and Tel Aviv called for new elections.[18][19] Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported that "hundreds of families of the hostages in Gaza gathered in central Tel Aviv to demand the government to immediately conclude a deal to release them."[20]
A Netanyahu speech on 25 December was met with heckles from hostage families.[21] At an anti-government rally, former-IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz stated victory would only be achieved when Netanyahu stepped down.[22]
At a Tel Aviv rally on 26 December, protesters called for an immediate ceasefire and stated it was the government's responsibility to get all 129 hostages back alive.[23] On 28 December, a delegation of youth protesters from Tel Aviv traveled to Jerusalem to call for the release of the hostages.[24] In an interview, the protest leader stated the movement's goals were a ceasefire, the return of the hostages, and "an end to the killing of innocent people in Gaza."[25]
Bring Them Home rallies in Tel Aviv drew tens of thousands of protesters every Saturday.[26] At the 30 December protest at Habima Square, demonstrators called for Netanyahu to be put behind bars.[27] Habima Square became informally known as "Hostages Square".[28] On 5 January 2024, the families of captives protested outside the home of Benny Gantz.[29] On 13 January, protesters in Tel Aviv were arrested for blocking a freeway.[30] Benny Gantz attended the Bring Them Home Now rally on 13 January.[31] Isaac Herzog was loudly booed at a hostage rally in Tel Aviv.[32] Protesters were arrested blocking a freeway in Tel Aviv.[33] Protesters camped outside Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea on 20 January.[34] The protesters stated they would remain encamped outside Netanyahu's residence until he agreed to a deal for the hostages' return.[35] Relatives of the hostages stormed the Knesset chambers on 22 January.[36][37] Relatives of hostages, along with other demonstrators, blocked the Ayalon Highway on 25 January.[38]
Six protesters calling for the resignation of Netanyahu were arrested attempting to block roads.[39] Protesters on 8 February held a sign that said "a deal or a death sentence" in response to Netanyahu rejecting a deal to release the hostages.[40] Protesters were arrested for blocking a Tel Aviv highway on 11 February.[41] Protesters blocked Begin Street in Tel Aviv on 15 February in opposition to Netanyahu pulling out of hostage release negotiations.[42] The 17 February protests additionally saw demonstrators demanding new elections.[43] A protester filmed Israeli police whipping an anti-government protester during the 27 February protests;[44] Yair Lapid condemned the act as "anti-democratic".[45] In March, an anti-war demonstrator in Tel Aviv stated, "The only victory is to stop the war, to save the lives of 20 or 30,000 more innocent Gazans and more than 100 hostages".[46][47] Continued government inaction over reaching a hostage deal led several family members of the hostages to join the anti-government demonstrations on 30 and 31 March,[48] which was followed by a four-day sit-in protest outside the Knesset.[49] [50]
On 6 April, during an anti-government rally in Tel Aviv, a car deliberately accelerated into a crowd of protesters, injuring five.[51] To mark the six-month anniversary of the 7 October attack, an estimated 50,000 people gathered in Jerusalem on 7 April to demand the immediate return of hostages. Additional rallies were held that day in New York City, Berlin, London and Washington D.C. with participants joined by family members of hostages.[52]
Anti-war protests
On 9 November, Israeli police arrested former MK Mohammad Barakeh in Nazareth for attempting to organize an anti-war protest.[53][54] In an interview with Time Magazine, Barakeh described Israel's crackdowns on free speech as fascist.[55] Israeli anti-Zionists reported hostility, threats from far-right groups, police brutality, and being perceived as "traitors".[56]
On 18 November, Israel held its first permitted anti-war protest in Tel Aviv.[57] Two activists in Haifa were arrested for quietly protesting against the war.[58] On 27 December, protesters from northern Israeli border towns protested in Tel Aviv, demanding to know when they would be allowed to return home.[59] On 17 January 2024, a peaceful anti-war protest in Tel Aviv was broken up by police for "harming the feelings of the public".[60] Palestinian and Jewish Israelis held a protest calling for the end of the war on 20 January.[61] One protester stated, "The government and the police in particular have done everything in their power to prevent [Jews and Arabs] from coming together."[62] The protest was allowed after the organizers took it all the way to the Supreme Court.[63]
Oren Ziv, a journalist for +972 Magazine, posted a video on social media showing police confiscating an anti-war banner on 27 January that stated "stop the genocide".[64] On 14 February, protesters demonstrated outside Israel’s Defence Ministry, calling for a ceasefire and the protection of children in Rafah.[65] On 29 February, activists from Standing Together held up bags of flour in protest of the Al-Rashid massacre, stating, "In Gaza today more than a hundred people were killed in line for flour and food. The war and the killing of hungry and innocent people do not bring us security, they only give birth to more pain".[66] On 1 March, protesters in Kafr Kanna called for an end to the war, to Israel's attacks on Palestinians, and to Israel's planned invasion of Rafah.[67] On 9 March, protesters in Umm al-Fahm demonstrated in opposition to the war.[68] Protesters paraglided over Netanyahu's home on 25 March, carrying slogans accusing him for not taking responsibility for the 7 October attack.[69]
Five members of the Free Jerusalem movement were reportedly arrested for "protesting against the criminal attack on Gaza".[70]
Work and school
Individuals who posted or expressed sentiments believed to be sympathetic toward or pro-Palestinian were suspended and censured from work and school.[71] In one instance, a high school principal faced suspension for sharing a Haaretz article that criticised the insufficient coverage of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza on Israeli media.[72] In another, a Palestinian doctor was probed by police for allegedly blocking her Jewish colleagues on social media.[73] Ben-Gurion University stated it would seek more severe punishment for a Palestinian student who was ordered to perform community service after sharing a social media post challenging some of the events of 7 October.[74] Meir Baruchin, a history teacher in Petach Tikvah, was arrested and placed in solitary confinement at a maximum security prison for a Facebook post stating, "What I am trying to do in my posts is present Palestinians as human beings."[75] Two young women were arrested for writing "free Palestine" on a whiteboard in Meitar.[76]
Hebrew University suspended Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, a Palestinian professor of law and genocide studies, because she "signed a petition calling Israel’s actions in Gaza genocide, and an occupying entity since 1948".[77]
Conscientious objectors
A number of young Israelis conscientiously objected to IDF conscription in protest of the war. These "refuseniks" faced jail time for their refusal to serve.[78] According to Amnesty International, Israel does not recognize a right to refuse military service on grounds of religion or conscience.[79] One prominent teenage objector stated, "The criminal attack on Gaza won’t solve the atrocious slaughter that Hamas executed."[80][81] Another objector stated she refused to participate in Israel's "violent policies of oppression and apartheid".[82] A network of conscientious objectors called Mesarvot provided legal support to refuseniks.[83] An eighteen-year-old woman was sentenced to twenty days in prison for refusing to serve due to the war on Gaza.[84] On 28 February, Tal Mitnick, an 18-year-old conscientious objector, was sentenced to his third 45 day sentence for refusing to serve.[85]
Protests in support of Gaza humanitarian aid
Standing Together organized a car convoy from Tel Aviv, Yafa, and Haifa to travel to the Kerem Shalom border crossing to bring humanitarian aid, stating, "The Israeli government does not allow sufficient basic humanitarian aid to get to the hungry millions in Gaza, and when a little aid does enter, battalions of settlers block it. We are not standing by anymore".[86]
Anti-Palestinian protests
Protest against humanitarian aid
On 21 December 2023, activists attempted to block the Kerem Shalom crossing to prevent humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip.[87] On 9 January, captives' families were stopped by police trying to block humanitarian aid.[88] On 19 January, families of captives promised "extreme actions", including blocking humanitarian aid.[89] Hundreds protested against the entry of humanitarian aid at the Kerem Shalom crossing on 24 January 2024.[90] Protesters again blocked aid on 25 and 26 January.[91][92][93] On 28 January, the IDF declared the Karem Abu Salem crossing a "closed military area".[94] Four settlers were arrested for tear-gassing and throwing rocks at aid delivery truck drivers.[95] Protesters again blocked aid on 30 January.[96] On 31 January, National Security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called on Netanyahu to cease sending aid to Gaza.[97]
30 were arrested protesting against aid for Gaza on 31 January.[98] On 1 February, protests blocked aid trucks from leaving the Port of Ashdod.[99] On 2 February, protesters blocked the Nitzana Border Crossing.[100] On 6 February, Channel 12 reported that 132 aid trucks had been prevented from entering the Karem Abu Salem crossing.[101] On 7 February, Israelis set up tents at the Karem Abu Salem to block aid from entering Gaza.[102] Protesters blocked aid at the Nitzana border crossing on 9 February.[103] 18 people were arrested on February 11 for blocking the Karem Abu Salem crossing.[104] Humanitarian aid was blocked at the Nitzana Border Crossing by Israelis on 14 January.[105] Israelis, including members of the Order 9 movement, blocked aid on 20 February at the Kerem Shalom crossing.[106] Clashes between soldiers and Israelis attempting to block aid were reported on 22 February, with a soldier hitting a man with a rock in the back of his head.[107] A group of settlers broke through the Erez crossing into Gaza on 29 February, demanding the recreation of Israeli settlements.[108]
The protesters are part of over two thirds of the Jewish Israeli population that are opposed to the sending of humanitarian aid to Gaza, per a February 2024 survey done by the Israeli Democracy Institute.[109]
Anti-Arab Netanya protest
On 28 October, a mob of far right Israelis gathered at Netanya Academic College chanting “death to Arabs” at Palestinian students living in the campus dormitories whom they claimed had thrown eggs on Jewish girls.[110][111] Israeli police blocked the far right protestors.[111]
Pro-war protests
In January 2024, a video of IDF reservists protesting while on active duty went viral, showing the soldiers displaying a banner on their armored vehicles criticizing the government for not attacking Gaza with more intensity.[112] Students in Petah Tikva protested the return of a teacher who had criticized the Israeli military, with the school principal stating she couldn't "guarantee the teacher's safety".[113] Harbu Darbu, a pro-war song that urged the bombing of Gaza and threatened Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa, reached the top of the Israeli charts.[114]
Other protests
On 6 February 2024, right-wing Israels held a protest opposing the United Nations in East Jerusalem.[115]
Government response
On 15 October, communications minister Shlomo Karhi proposed emergency regulations allowing for the arrest of individuals who hurt "national morale."[116] Following a rally in support of Gaza in Haifa, police commissioner Kobi Shabtai threatened to send antiwar protesters to the Gaza Strip on buses.[117] On 8 November, the Israel Supreme Court allowed police to bar all anti-war protests.[118]
The Knesset criminalized the "consumption of terrorist materials" on 8 November.[119] Civil rights groups criticized the bill, stating it "invades the realm of personal thoughts and beliefs."[120] On 2 December, an attorney at Adalah, an Israeli legal center, stated law enforcement was using the law to surveil and silence individuals, while Association for Civil Rights in Israel said it was "unprecedented in democratic countries."[121] On 23 December, The Intercept stated the IDF had barred the media from reporting on eight subjects in Israel.[122]
On 20 November, Israeli public broadcaster Kan posted and shortly after deleted a video produced by a private NGO, showing children who were evacuated from Gaza envelope settlements singing "we'll eliminate them all and go back to plowing our fields".[123] On 23 November, communications minister Shlomo Karhi proposed defunding the newspaper Haaretz due to its "defeatist and false propaganda."[124][125] On 23 November, ahead of the hostage-swap, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stated that any "expressions of joy" related to the release of Palestinian prisoners was "equivalent to backing terrorism."[126] On 29 November, police arrested activists at a Knesset protest opposing the government.[127] Six were arrested on 2 December protesting outside Netanyahu's house in Caesarea.[128][129]
The IDF ruled on 1 January 2024 that Palestinian activist Monder Amira could be held without trial for four months for his Facebook posts, which he stated weren't his.[130]
On 8 January, following news that MK Ofer Cassif faced expulsion for supporting South Africa's ICJ lawsuit, MK Ahmad Tibi stated, "The finance minister said that there are two million Nazis in Gaza. This is how you legitimise genocide."[131] In a petition to expel Cassif, MK Oded Forer stated, "He must soon find himself beyond the borders of the Knesset and preferably beyond the borders of Israel."[132]
Conscientious objectors
A number of young Israelis conscientiously objected to IDF conscription in protest of the war. These "refuseniks" faced jail time for their refusal to serve.[78] According to Amnesty International, Israel does not recognize a right to refuse military service on grounds of religion or conscience.[79]
Politicians
In a social media post, MK Ahmad Tibi condemned statements by far-right politicians, stating, "Here today, Israel is being sued in The Hague, the lawsuit cites countless members of the Knesset. And guess how many Arab MKs 'supporting terrorism and embracing terrorists' are mentioned there – zero. Only Jewish ministers and judges on the right."[133]
Surveys
In February 2024, a poll by the Israel Democracy Institute found that 51 percent of Israelis believed the main goal of the war should be returning the hostages, while 36 percent believed it should be "toppling Hamas".[134]
Open letters
Some groups in Israel expressed support for the war. Dozens of rabbis signed a letter to Netanyahu and senior defence officials stating that "even when the enemy hides behind a human shield... there is no halakhic or moral preclusion, nor legal preclusion, from bombing the enemy after sufficient advance warning".[135][136]
A group of 100 doctors called "Doctors for the Rights of Israeli Soldiers", signed a statement stating Israel had a "legitimate right" to bomb "terror nests and Hamas headquarters in the hospitals in Gaza".[137] This prompted a harsh reply from the acting head of the ethics office at the Israel Medical Association, Dr. Tami Karni, who wrote that "doctors are sworn to heal, not kill... Israel's doctors have refused to be dragged into the consciental and moral decline of the enemy, and will continue to act accordingly". The White Robes, an organization which numbers in the hundreds, decried the letter as a "provocative pamphlet by an extremist minority", stating that "calls for indiscriminate destruction and killing, even if justified militarily, are not part of the medical ethical code". Physicians for Human Rights published an open letter signed by 350 physicians and medical personnel, which also condemns the aforementioned call.[138][139]
Israelis abroad
Jews and Israelis abroad participated in protests both supporting and protesting the Israeli response in the war.[140][141]
