Southern population sees no light at the end of the tunnel.
The recent lull in violence and talks regarding a truce between Israel and Gaza do not constitute any great light at the end of the tunnel for residents of the Gaza border communities, according to the hundreds who took to Tel Aviv’s streets for the past two weekends to call on the government to end the cycle of violence more decisively. “What we are trying to achieve with these protests is quiet,” Kibbutz Kfar Aza resident Simha Ben-Yousef told The Jerusalem Post on Saturday night. “It can’t be that for the past 17 years we are in the same story – war, calm, dribs and drabs [of violence] – we are in the same situation all the time.”
