Hello hippies!

So apparently the hippies do care.

Seems we Israelis get much much more jumpy and ready to demonstrate when our soldiers get killed rather than when, say, civilians get murdered.

Saturday night, in Tel Aviv, a big demonstration will take place, urging the government to take action. Pull out of Gaza and start negotiating. Perhaps there's still a chance to jump start the peace process, if we're all not too far gone by now.

All I know is, this should've happened a long time ago.
And innocent civilians will go on suffering until we get going.

I know many people are going to the demonstration because of what happened in Gaza this week. Soldiers getting killed.
But there are many more who were planning to come before things blew up in Gaza. People who are sick and tired from both Palestinians and Israelis suffering at the hands of our leaders. People like me, who are horrified at the thought of IDF bulldozers demolishing houses in the south of the Gaza strip.

So if you see a shitload of Israelis demonstrating at Rabin Square on CNN tomorrow, don't dismiss it as Israelis who just want their soldiers out of danger but don't care about the Palestinian people.
