Organizer of Tel Aviv rally for hostages against Bibi asks members of crowd to stop chanting ‘shame’; Hamas says no new hostage deal without permanent end to aggression
2023-12-17
[IsraelTimes] Chants of "shame" spread spontaneously across Shaul Hamelech Boulevard, the traffic artery running along the Kirya military base.

The chants come from the thousands of participants in the weekly solidarity rally with Israeli hostages being held in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
. They follow speakers’ appeals for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to make a deal with Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
for the release of 129 people still presumed to be held in Gaza.

The chants echo those heard during the rallies against the government’s planned judicial overhaul held across Israel in the nine months that preceded the Hamas onslaught on October 7.
The same anti-democracy cadres who’ve been leading protests against Israel’s non-Socialist governments since 2000 using varying pretexts, funded by Progressive billionaires and the US State Department under the Obama and Biden administrations.
A front man for the Hostage and Missing Families Forum, which organizers the rallies, comes onto stage to ask the crowd to stop chanting "shame."

"Save it for different roads and junctions at a different time," he says. "There is no place for politics here. From now on shout ’now’ instead of ’shame,'" adds the man, who does not introduce himself to the crowd.
Not all are idiots:
The Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum supports a new agreement with Hamas. But other families with relatives held in Gaza, including those represented by the Tkumah forum, are not pushing for a deal, arguing instead for military action or an agreement with terms better than those understood to be the minimum now acceptable to Hamas.

Advocating opposite approaches to freeing hostages, rival demonstrators face off outside Kirya

[IsraelTimes] Some 100 people holding signs advocating for uncompromising warfare against Hamas rally in Tel Aviv, facing off with demonstrators chanting “ceasefire now.”

The demonstrations on Begin Road, opposite the Kirya military base, underline growing divides in Israeli society over the war with Hamas, which after erupting on October 7 prompted displays of unity following nine months of a wave of protests against the government’s judicial overhaul that rocked Israeli society.

Members from the two rallies trade insults, in scenes reminiscent of those protests. One woman shouts at the protesters: “What you’re doing is at the expense of the lives of the hostages.”

Another shouts: “Have you no shame, you swine!”

Police separate the two groups, but a woman from the demonstration supporting a deal with Hamas approaches the other and cries out, “Would you also say nothing if your daughter were held hostage?”

One of her ideological rivals, Eyal Lahiani from Beit Shemesh, tells her: “I support freeing the hostages but only through military action.”

The rally of people who oppose a deal with Hamas is taking place for the second consecutive week, Lahiani says, and is led by a hawkish group called the Mothers’ March.

Hamas: No new hostage deal ‘unless the aggression against our people stops once and for all’
So much for negotiations.
Hamas issues an official statement saying the terror group will not agree to another deal for the release of hostages it’s holding in Gaza “unless the agression against our people stops once and for all.”

The statement says Hamas has communicated this stance to mediators.
