Israeli protests erupt against Benjamin Netanyahu following death of hostages

Mass protests are taking place across Israel against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Attendees are holding him personally responsible for the death of six hostages found in Gaza – arguing the Prime Minister failed to ensure the hostages return home safely.

Demonstrators are calling for a deal for the immediate release of hostages held in the Gaza Strip.

These people don't think about the future of Israel and Hamas existence.

[jameshensley]

I don't understand these protesters. They make no sense.

[alurakimball]

This is Hamas' fault. This is so sad. Praying for the families, and praying for Israel.

[bjty]

Hamas did it and is responsible. We need to put the blame where it belongs. So tired of blaming others instead of the ones that committed the wrong. These last years that's all that has happened. There is no guarantees hamas makes its own decisions.

[speedymccreedy]

Odd, the rest of the world blames the terrorist group that actually killed them, Hamas.

[PrimalStunt]

They want to stop the war so they can re-group and come for their families again.
These idiotic people are such a joke.

[_wokeweaklingscryoverwords_]

Shouldn't they be protesting against the ones who kidnapped those Israeli hostages in the first place?

[magick]

those are all the traitors supporting the terrorists. helping the terrorists from the inside.

[robertrankin-lviv]

Sad as it is for loved ones it is Hamas you silly people.

[jule]

They should save their anger for the things that took them as hostages

[stevenhudson]

Its sad...it almost sounds like people are blaming Israel instead of the terrorists.

[s.c.i.]

These people are acting out of panic and grief. Perhaps they should all go in search of the hostages. They really are foolish.

[tomhamilton]

Sad to see they want temporary peace over long-term victory. 😢

[Claire-eshz]

Terrible ! He had to explain every move & get permission- stop calling him !!!!

[philmcalister]

The Palestinians are to blame for supporting Hamas. They ought to be fighting for their own freedom.

[Marie]

Understandable somewhat, but shortsighted and maddening. We need to unite and support Israel and Netanyahu. They have to fight all the way 💪🇮🇱💪
The failed Shalit deal is the reason these copout suggestions are even considered. Sinwar was one of those who were set free then 😡😡😡

[Ben-vhty]

How is he supposed to promise they return safe if they aren't in his possession?

[Oldgreycowboy]

So why don’t these people put the signs down and go get the rest of the hostages ? If they don’t, then they are to blame.

[chrissingletary]

It is ridiculous to protest against Netanyahu. He is doing what he can to get them back without giving in or giving them quarter to regroup. My heart goes out to the families of the hostages, but remember who took them and the barbarians that they are. Also remember that the leader of Hamas was once held in captivity in Israeli prison but was released under just such a demand from Hamas. If I was a hostage, I would not want any negotiations to my captors. They are the ones at fault, not BN.
Also remember that all the women have likely been raped and that is a war crime. They will not allow the women who they raped to come out alive and testify against them.

[annedaws]

They should stop putting the blame on on their prime minister for Christ sake maybe they should all go to Gaza and to see if they can fix it
