Democracy Now! Israeli support for war on Iran is rapidly falling

At least 17 people were arrested Saturday as Israeli police violently cracked down on an antiwar protest in Tel Aviv, where hundreds had gathered condemning the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

Israeli peace activist Alon-Lee Green, who helped organize the protest and was among those arrested, says the Israeli public’s initial support for the war has rapidly declined in recent weeks, as the quick, decisive engagement that was promised has not come to fruition.

Green spoke to Democracy Now! from a courthouse where he is filing for a restraining order against right-wing extremists who have harassed him at his home. Israeli peace activists are accusing both law enforcement and right-wing groups in the country of violating their constitutional right to protest.
