Israeli Protesters Burn Symbolic Passover Table Outside PM's House

(snip)

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the gates leading to the house in the coastal town of Caesarea, calling for the release of hostages abducted by Palestinian militants on October 7 and criticising Netanyahu's leadership.

Their plight has cast a pall over this year's Passover, also known in Hebrew as the "holiday of freedom."

Guy Ben Dror said he was protesting against "the worst prime minister in the history of Israel."

"He doesn't want the hostages back because he doesn't want the war to end or he'll go to prison," said the 54-year-old investment firm worker.

Oh, those self-hating antisemites! Listen to them blame him for Octobr 7th - obviously, they support Hamas beause as the leader of Israel, Bibi is god-like in his ability to do what's best for both Israelis and Palestinians.

"All of us believe he is responsible for the horrible disaster of October 7," she said, accusing Netanyahu of failures in negotiating their release."

Nobody is wishing Hag Sameach this year .
Our family left an empty chair for the hostages and no singing , with the exception of my four
year old grandson who stood on his chair and sang " mah nishtanah " alone .
There wasnt a dry eye at the table .

My father is the most stoic person I've ever known. Didn't even show emotion with his cancer diagnosis which they caught REALLY early.

Left an empty chair. We did the mourner's kaddish at the end.
