Thousands Of Israelis March In Tel Aviv Calling For Peace Talks With Palestinians

TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- Thousands of Israelis took the streets of Tel Aviv on Saturday night, calling for new peace talks with the Palestinians, amid an international effort to quell a month-long Israeli-Palestinian wave of violence.

The protesters marched from Rabin Square in central Tel Aviv, Israel's trade capital, towards Hakirya defense compound, where the ministry of defense is located.

According to Peace Now, a left-wing organization that organized the march, about 6,000 people attended the event.

The demonstrators chanted "Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies" and "two states for two people, Israel and Palestine."

Some say it is over 45 percent. All we hear from the media is about the prime minister and war.

in every election.

Most Israelis don't want things to change--they prefer the status quo to anything that might replace the status quo
