Israel Completely United by Tyranny ... Except for Some People

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Israel is united in supporting the aggression against Lebanon. Even Isreali Arabs and leftists in Israel support it.
Ada Aharoni, founder of the "Four Mothers" movement, which led public protests against Israel's occupation of Lebanon until it ended in 2000, said the extensive assault against Hezbollah had her full support.

"We are all for it," said Aharoni. "We are liberating our northern frontier, and we are liberating the Lebanese from the extremists and the Iranians who control them. I think it had to be done."
But that article obviously misses the Israeli opposition to this war. As reported in ynet, an Israeli news site:
Some 1,000 protestors joined Sunday evening in a rally in Tel Aviv to protest the IDF strikes in Southern Lebanon. Police have arrested three of the protesters claiming they were holding a demonstration without a permit.

The protesters, who marched from Hen Boulevards toward King George Street, chanted slogans such as "Olmert agreed with Bush: War and occupation." "Stop the war monstrosity," and "Say no to the brutal bombardments on Gaza." They also accused Defense Minister Amir Peretz of murdering children in Gaza, and recited: "Peretz, don't worry, we'll be seeing you at The Hague."
