Like Americans, Israelis have a diversity of thought and opinion, often nuanced from one person to the next. Though, from not even a full day in the country, one underlying theme I am hearing from all sides is that the Israeli citizens are becoming more and more distrustful of the government. They feel the war could have ended, scores of lives could have been saved, and the hostages brought home.
While in transit, I speak to a man who opens up to me. Regarding the prime minister, he says:
“Once he called the left traitors.Then he called the center traitors.Now, anyone who doesn’t vote for him is the traitor.”
After my family and i had dinner, we head to the street demonstration:
Here is one of those voices at the demonstration:(please excuse the quality as I didn’t have my camera on me)
