Protesters called the policy national suicide while hostages remain in Hamas captivity
(May 27, 2025 / JNS) Israeli reservists from the “Generation of Victory” movement and activists from the grassroots group Tzav 9 staged a protest Tuesday at the Ashdod Port, blocking humanitarian aid trucks bound for the Gaza Strip.
“While our comrades are dying in combat in Gaza, the State of Israel is sending aid to Hamas on a silver platter,” the groups stated on X. “This is not humanitarianism—it is national suicide. Every truck that enters Gaza prolongs the war. We will be here every week—hundreds of reservists who will physically stop this insane policy.”
Captain (res.) Omer Waldman, a leading figure in the protest movement and veteran of hundreds of days of reserve duty, confronted activists from the left-wing organization “Standing Together” who arrived at the scene. “Whose side are you on? Shame on you!” she declared.
