Although most Israelis have rallied behind their government’s war on Gaza, some still call for peace.
The Hamas attack on October 7 sent shock waves through Israeli society. The killing of more than 1,100 people, most of them civilians, has fueled hypernationalism and created a climate in which those who express solidarity with the Palestinians risk being labeled traitors or terrorist sympathizers. But even at a time when most Israelis support their government’s war effort, some Israeli activists, despite abuses, continue to seek peace.
