“ACCEPT the deal, end the war, out of Gaza!” Thousands of placards carrying this message, in both Hebrew and Arabic, were distributed last Saturday in the weekly anti-government protests in cities throughout Israel.
Some looked with suspicion at these signs, as they preferred sticking to the popular “Deal now!” signs. But others, many others, approached the activists of Standing Together who were handing out these purple bilingual signs, and asked to carry them.
This reflects a changing attitude among many within the anti-Netanyauh protest movement — even as our government beats the drums of war in the northern border with Lebanon — with a wing that develops towards an openly anti-war message.
