Another voice from inside Israel

Israel鈥檚 war in Gaza has stirred complex responses that are quieter than the calls to halt or speed Israel鈥檚 military response to the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas. At the Monitor, we鈥檙e working to hear them all. Perspectives can inform decision-making.
Consider the Palestinians who are fed up with Hamas and mustering the courage to say so. Or outside critics of Israel who want to question the tactics of the Jewish state without being labeled antisemitic.聽
Today, we explore another mindset: that of liberal Israelis angry at their government, sobered by the war鈥檚 humanitarian toll 鈥� but who also lament that their nation faces deepening isolation. And who are still inclined to defend it.聽
