'Revenge Is Not a Policy': Israelis Voice Dissent Against the War in Gaza

A growing number of Israelis are voicing opposition to their government's ongoing military campaign in Gaza, citing moral concerns and the scale of civilian suffering. While most Israelis initially supported the war as a response to the Hamas-led attack in October 2023, a vocal minority of academics, authors, politicians, and retired military leaders are now publicly condemning what they describe as atrocities and war crimes. Protests and open letters from various professional groups have called for an end to the conflict, with some prominent figures warning of the country's moral decline and urging a negotiated solution to secure the release of hostages and relieve exhausted soldiers. Despite these efforts, the majority of Israelis remain largely unmoved by the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and critical voices struggle to break through the prevailing public discourse and media coverage.
