Activists from "Standing Together" protested at Ben Gurion Airport demanding an end to the war in Gaza. The organization stated that "more than 100,000 Israelis have left the country in the last two years and the numbers are only growing. Everyone is trying to escape from here during this bloody and terrible summer - and rightfully so. The government of blood and killing is dragging us all into the abyss, Israelis and Palestinians. We can't breathe anymore. We must stop abandoning the hostages, the extermination and starvation in Gaza, sending soldiers to their deaths for the sake of occupation and settlement in the Strip - we need to stop this war."
