"Israel's Peace Activists: A Shift in Perspective on the War"

Israel's peace activists are grappling with their stance on the ongoing war with Hamas, following the devastating attack on Kibbutz Kfar Aza that claimed the lives of peace activists and family members. Some activists are re-evaluating their position, acknowledging Israel's right to defend itself but calling for a more measured response that does not result in the loss of innocent Palestinian lives. However, they face challenges in expressing their views, as peace activism is often equated with support for Hamas, and public sympathy for Palestinians can lead to backlash and threats. Despite the difficulties, these activists believe that Jewish-Palestinian coexistence is the only way forward for a just and equal society.
