Israeli anger at hostage deaths spills onto Tel Aviv and Jerusalem streets

The Manila Times

Israeli anger at hostage deaths spills onto Tel Aviv and Jerusalem streets  Thousands of Israelis protested in central Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on Sunday, September 1, evening calling on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to do more to bring home the remaining hostages help in captivity in Gaza.  Israel on Sunday said it recovered the bodies of six hostages from a tunnel in Gaza where they were apparently killed shortly before its troops reached them.  The Hostages Families Forum, which represents the families of some of those held in Gaza, said the death of the six was the direct result of Netanyahu's failure to secure a deal to halt the fighting and bring their loved ones home.

00:00We are here to protest against the Israeli government that is making wrong decisions.

00:14This country was built on some core values, part of them is strictly that the government

00:19of Israel will do everything in its power to bring back hostages and soldiers from captivity

00:25wherever they are.

00:26And this government, because of political reasons and for the right extreme coalition

00:32of Netanyahu, is breaking those values and this is the core of the existence of our country.

00:38No values, no country.

00:39That's why we are here, to save the country, to bring back the hostages.

00:42I'm angry, I'm furious, you see here it's just frustration.

00:45We've been here yesterday, as we do every Saturday, but what happened last night, the

00:50bad news that we received just brought everyone here, everyone left their work, left the job,

00:55left the children at home and came here to protest, to say no more, no more to this corrupt

01:00government.

01:01I think we have a criminal government, a criminal government who lets the hostages be murdered,

01:32only for the sake of the coalition, and we have a prime minister who doesn't think of

01:37the good of the country, but only of his own good.

01:41I'm very angry, I'm very, very angry.

01:45I feel betrayed, but I've been feeling like that for a long time.

01:49But today, after the news of these six people, who were just alive a few days ago, and some

01:58of them were on the list of hostages that were supposed to come back, and unfortunately

02:04this horrible thing happened.

02:21I've been here only once or twice before, and today I decided to come.

02:27I feel like most of the people here, because we had enough, because we can't sit at home

02:32anymore and hope for the change.

02:34We need to come here.

02:52This is where it all started.

02:55I wanted it to happen long before, when the hostages came back on the day 1550.

03:04Until then, there were no releases by deals, and we just waited for so many days for this

03:16point.

03:18And so, for me, this is now the time of the people.

03:24The people are speaking, and we are going to be here until the hostages are going to

03:28come back home.

03:53We are here!

04:24Woohoo!

04:32Woohoo!

04:51Shut up!

04:54Shut up!

04:56Shut up!

04:58Shut up!
