Thousands of people demonstrated in several Israeli cities on Saturday evening for the release of hostages held by the militant Palestinian organization Hamas and against the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"I call on the most failed government in (Israel's) history: resign!" a reserve officer shouted at the largest rally in the coastal metropolis of Tel Aviv. The officer was wounded in the current Gaza war.

Participants in the protest in Tel Aviv carried banners with the words “You are the leader! You are to blame!"

A growing number of critics accuse Netanyahu of mismanaging the country before and after the terrorist attack by the Islamist Hamas and other extremist groups on southern Israel on October 7.

1. I Agree, Sir, I'd Be Out There Myself

Netanyahu is probably the worst calamity ever to beset Israel. He makes Sharon look pretty decent by compare....

2. He's an evil criminal.

And a thug.

3. As You Wish, Ma'am

I've never found trying to sort things into the good and the evil much use in understanding people and events. Particularly not in matters of state and war.
