This weekend, the largest protest demonstrations against Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since the beginning of the brutal attack on the Gaza Strip were held in some Israeli cities, demanding early elections to seek a change of government.

During the marches, relatives of people held by the Hamas group since October last year reproached the head of government for what they called his failure to get them to return home, as he promised at the beginning of the massive bombings.

It could be that within Israel there is a gradual realization that the genocide perpetrated against the civilian population in the Strip is not aimed at rescuing hostages, but rather at using them as a pretext for wiping entire towns off the map, along with their inhabitants.

Tel Aviv's purpose is clearly related to the so-called "final solution" of the Hitler regime against the Jews in Europe during World War II, that is, to carry out an extermination operation.

An example of this is visible to the whole world today, when Zionist troops left the site of the Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City.

The site of that hospital is now a razed field, strewn with Palestinian corpses amidst a pile of rubble, with nothing left standing.

The Gaza press office said that Zionist troops indiscriminately killed 400 civilians around Al Shifa, including medical personnel.

 They razed to the ground all the buildings inside the medical compound, demolished the courtyards and buried dozens of bodies in the rubble, turning the site into a mass grave.

Actions of this kind have nothing to do with the alleged aim of rescuing prisoners, but with a coldly planned and executed genocide.

In the march held in Jerusalem, the leader of the opposition, Yair Lapid, of the Yesh Atid party, alluded that Netanyahu believes that the call for early elections would paralyze Israel, when the truth is that it already is.

Some 100,000 Israelis took part in the protest, and the fact that the Business Forum, which brings together the 200 largest companies in the State, granted permission to its workers to attend the marches attracted attention.

The popular saying goes that there is no evil that lasts 100 years, nor a sick person that can resist it, and perhaps, just perhaps for now, the Israeli people are beginning to be cured of Netanyahu and his henchmen.
