Israeli anti-war activists speak with the WSWS (World Socialist Web Site, 2024-05-27)

“… an anti-war group of Israeli mothers… which has hundreds of supporters, was founded last November by mothers of young people required to serve in the armed forces, not only to prosecute the war against the people of Gaza but to maintain the ongoing occupation of the West Bank.”
“Today’s anti-war protesters confront what [an activist] described as a ‘very militarised’ society. ‘We live with the military, our children grow up knowing they will be in the army when they are 18 or 19, everything is kind of based on that. In our group we want to change this.’”
“‘In my surroundings, the people I meet are for peace, they are all against the war. There is opposition in the universities and many other places.’ The mothers’ group was calling for a complete end to the war and for ‘everyone to go home, the hostages and the soldiers.’”

“Sources say that Israel's national security minister was surprised by the large number of police officers at a West Bank checkpoint, and raged at the police commissioner two days later because special units were assigned to safeguard Gaza aid convoys”
… No matter how “large” the numbers really are, I sincerely wish those police officers all the best. 🖖
A poster was shared on social media to promote the protest. A description of the event said protesters were "delivering a message to #McGill administration that we refuse to stand by quietly while they remain complicit in #genocide."
