Israeli peaceniks in the US are shunned by both sides in their call for Gaza ceasefire and hostage release

Israeli leftists, who argue opposition to the war is also support for Israel, are rejected by pro-Palestinians and supporters of the war

As New York's annual parade in support of Israel worked its way down Fifth Avenue on Sunday, a group of Israeli citizens shouted from the sidelines.

They waved signs demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of the Israelis held by Hamas. They chanted shame" as two rightwing Israeli cabinet ministers, who have defended the killing of thousands of Palestinians civilians, passed by.
