Coming to Habima Square in central Tel Aviv to protest the war on Iran and Lebanon, and against the government of blood that continues to kill people throughout the region!

Stop the War: Demonstration on Saturday night, March 7th | 18:00 | Habima Square, Tel Aviv

The government has dragged us into yet another war of choice against Iran. Only eight months ago, after the previous war, they told us that security for generations had been achieved; now Netanyahu and Trump are attacking again—in Iran and Lebanon—and this is only the beginning.

American imperialism, through Israel, is tightening its murderous grip across the entire Middle East: in Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria. We must resist!

On Saturday, Match 7, at 18:00, at Habima Square, we will join the demonstration against the war with Iran and Lebanon and against the government that continues to kill people throughout the region.

As per the Home Front Command instructions, The demonstration will take place near a large, accessible bomb shelter.

It should be noted that two days ago, when twenty brave people tried to hold a protest the war at Habima Square, they were immediately dispersed by police under the pretext of "violating Home Front Command instructions," and some detainees were even subjected to strip searches.

However, now the Home Front Command instructions have been relaxed, and the police —controlled by the extreme right fascist Ben Gvir —were forced to approve the demonstration.

It is worth mentioning that in Israel, most of the "Opposition" has lined up in unequivocal support of the war.

In the U.S., the situation is different. The Democratic Party has come out unequivocally against the war. In the U.S. Senate vote, war supporters won by only a slim majority of 53:47. American society and its political system are split and divided regarding the war, and this is an important and encouraging sign for war opponents here as well!

A message from the Zazim community:

Our team and the entire Zazim community share in the grief of the families of those killed in the war and pray for the recovery of the wounded and the restoration of destroyed homes.

We know of many activists who have lost their homes in recent days and ache with each and every one of you. Our office was also destroyed by a missile strike last Friday night. None of us were hurt, and we continue to organize from our homes, hoping for a swift end to the war.

It is easy to start wars, but we must ask what their purpose is. Every war is accompanied by promises of being the "last one," followed by absolute victory and peace—yet after every one, preparations for the next war begin immediately.

This time, too, there is great doubt whether this war will bring us the security we want, or the freedom from oppression and murder that the Iranian people long for and deserve.

In recent years, we have also learned that against the backdrop of military operations, anti-democratic initiatives flourish, "coup" laws are passed, and the harm to Palestinian residents and land seizures intensify. This is another price we will pay for this war.

This time, no effort was even made to hide the political interests behind going to war. It is not about liberating the Iranian people, but about moving up the elections here, fortifying the rule of Netanyahu and Ben Gvir, and continuing to blur the responsibility for October 7th and everything that happened afterward.

Therefore, we are not part of the sense of euphoria in the government (and unfortunately, in large parts of the opposition), but are rather deeply concerned. For a long time, wars and military operations have become Israel's only diplomatic tool, and our existence has only become more precarious and dangerous.

Despite all the investment in military technology, and despite the new reality of constant confrontation, the home front remains neglected, and the weakest—Arabs, the Ultra-Orthodox, and disadvantaged citizens living in old apartments—remain without protection.

Our security is not the goal of this war or this government. We deserve more — a policy that puts citizens at the center.

Only diplomatic agreements will bring Israel security. Only democracy will bring prosperity and stability. The reality of recent years is not a decree of fate, but the result of the cynical and reckless policy of an extreme and messianic government.

We demand a new path and expect the opposition to present a real alternative to the cycle of violence and war.
