"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.

The divisive Israeli-Hamas war: Faint voices of dissent and distant cries

The Israeli "peace camp" is struggling to be heard amidst the ongoing conflict with Hamas, with some activists facing criticism and even being labeled as traitors. While many Israelis support the idea of eradicating Hamas by any means necessary, others are questioning the cost of war and what will come after. The recent Hamas attack, which resulted in the deaths of peace activists, has made the work of opposing Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories even more difficult but also more urgent. The grief-stricken activists are mourning personal losses while trying to raise awareness about the need for peace and questioning the Israeli military's aims. Despite facing backlash, they remain hopeful that their viewpoint will gain traction and contribute to healing the wounds on both sides.
