On Saturday, up to 150,000 Israelis rallied in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv calling for Israel to pull out of Gaza. It was the largest peace protest since the 1980s during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Polls now show that at least 70 percent of Israelis favor pulling settlements out of Gaza but so far Ariel Sharon’s Likud Party has his blocked plans for a pullout. Also over the weekend Israel carried out nightly bombing raids on Gaza City as it attempted to assassinate the top officials of Islamic Jihad. Israeli warships also attacked offices connected to Hamas and Yasser Arafat’s Fatah faction.
