The irony is that October 7 was an attack on a music festival and a bunch of agricultural settlements that were on the leading edge of the peace/coexistence camp. But yeah,

From the far left to the haredi right, these Jews are questioning the ethics of voting for the World Zionist Congress - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
