Israeli Dissent Grows Against Gaza War on Moral Grounds

A growing number of Israelis, including academics, politicians, and former military leaders, are publicly opposing the ongoing war in Gaza. These voices, once on the fringes, are increasingly vocal, citing moral concerns and what they describe as atrocities. While initial support for the offensive was high following the October 7th Hamas attack, a segment of the population now believes the military action has become excessive and violates their values. Protesters are highlighting the civilian casualties in Gaza and advocating for an end to the conflict, arguing that revenge is not a sustainable policy and that the war could have been conducted differently.
