00:26BATONS RAISED
00:28protesters dragged voices silenced in the heart of Tel Aviv a different battle is
00:36unfolding not against missiles but against dissent as Israel continues its
00:44war on Iran its own citizens are now taking to the streets and being pushed
00:50back across the internet a question is growing louder how different is Israel
00:56from the very system it claims to fight what began as small gatherings has
01:03started to grow hundreds now protesting in Tel Aviv Haifa and beyond voices
01:11demanding one thing and the war groups like standing together peace now and
01:18women wage peace joining the movement the message is simple enough bloodshed but
01:26the response swift and forceful police moved in protesters pushed dragged
01:32detained some thrown to the ground at least one held in a chokehold authorities
01:40called it an illegal gathering under wartime rules more than 50 people cannot
01:46assemble but critics say this is not about safety it's about control on the streets
01:53anger confusion frustration I'm here protest against our government and to
02:00stop the war because we are four weeks into the war that nobody actually know
02:06what is the aim of the war because in the beginning they said we are against the
02:11nice missiles against the nuclear and maybe to take down the regime in Iran but
02:16after two weeks everybody understood that it's not going to happen even the
02:21Americans obviously I believe that this war is part of baby's game plan I don't
02:31particularly fear the Iranians and I think that he's led the world or at least the
02:36Americans into a very dangerous situation no one thought how the hell are we
02:41going to get out of it and there's no end in sight others accused leadership of
02:50prolonging the conflict for political survival for them this war is not just external it's internal and online the debate
03:01is intensifying images of crackdowns spreading fast clips of arrests force suppression many now asking when protests are silenced when
03:13dissent is crushed how different is this system Israel criticizes the comparison
03:20controversial but growing inside israel public opinion remains split a majority still backs the war but opposition is rising slowly
03:32steadily from just a few percent to a growing minority demanding change the cracks are beginning to show
03:41protests protests protests suppressed questions rising and a war with no clear end in Tel Aviv tonight the fight isn't
03:51just against Iran it's about what kind of nation Israel chooses to be
