Police attack anti-war protest in Tel Aviv

Standing Together writes:

Last night [Saturday 28 March], thousands of people in Israel took to the streets in protests across the country which we coordinated with a coalition of civil society groups in a call to end our government’s forever war in Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, and its deepening occupation in the West Bank. At the main protest in Tel Aviv, Ben-Gvir’s police entered to violently and forcefully disperse over 1,000 participants, injuring some of our movement leaders and arresting several activists.

While the police claimed that the protest violated safety guidelines during the war, the demonstration was held at Habima Square, above one of the largest public shelters in Tel Aviv. Our extremist government sees the opposition to forever war getting stronger from week to week and is trying to silence us – but we’re continuing to grow. We will not stop until we end this forever cycle of bloodshed.

We send our solidarity to our comrades in Israel, resisting an increasingly authoritarian government in the name of peace and equality.
