After months of building a narrative that Bibi was not responsible for failing to protect Israelis on Oct 7, Israelis are finding it harder not to respond. Israeli society has managed to remain unified for 143 days despite our political leadership. The existential threat posed by Hamas, Hezbollah and their allies, and the rise of antisemitism around the world have kept us focused and united. But the relentless efforts of Netanyahu, Smotrich and Ben Gvir to undermine national unity are beginning to have an effect.
Antigovernment protests are back in addition to the Bring Them Protests. This is a sad state of affairs because the hostage families are determined to keep their protest apolitical.
