What, all 5 of them?
I've never heard of a single, significant Israeli protest against the genocide. If anyone else has, please link it.
There were literally 10s of thousands marching in tel Aviv. Israel, just like every other place on earth, is not a homogenous blob.
Here's a source from al Jazeera. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/22/all-of-the-rats-in-the-knesset-mass-anti-war-protest-in-israel
Another from 6 months ago, NPR this time. https://www.npr.org/2024/01/19/1225651180/israel-tel-aviv-protest-gaza-war
Problem is they're not protesting for an end to west bank settlements, or a meaningful negotiation with Palestine that creates a viable Palestinian state with right to return, or an end to the Gaza embargo, or even a curbing of settler violence, house demolition or the like.
All these things are not part of the discussion in Israel.
Mostly they're protesting against the utter and complete disregard Netenyahu has for the lives and well-being of the hostages.
