Protesters opposing war actions breach the transmission of the reality show, "Big Brother," in Israel
Israeli Peace Activists Protest Against Gaza War Escalation
In a bold move on August 9, 2025, Israeli peace activists stormed the live broadcast of the reality show "Big Brother" to express their opposition to the escalating war in Gaza. The demonstration, organised by the group Standing Together, saw several activists invade the stage, donning white T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan "Leaving Gaza"[1][3][4].
The activists chanted "The people demand: Stop the shooting!" as security personnel removed them during the broadcast[1][3]. Standing Together, an organisation advocating for peace between Israelis and Palestinians, stated that the media is not telling the truth about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and that the government’s continued military campaign and blockade should not be accepted as business as usual[1].
Eliah Levine, an activist member of Standing Together, discussed the protest with the BBC, explaining their demand to end the violence and occupation plans targeting Gaza City, which Israel's government was planning to seize as part of a new offensive approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Security Cabinet[2][5].
The demonstration in Tel Aviv was also a response to the planned expansion of the Gaza war. The forum of relatives of hostages kidnapped by Islamist Hamas to the Gaza Strip organised the protest[6]. The demonstrators accused Israeli media of selectively reporting on the catastrophic conditions in the Palestinian territory[6].
The Chancellery in Germany urged the Israeli government to halt its war plans and called for everyone to intervene to stop the war in Gaza[7]. The statement suggested that the war can only be stopped if everyone interrupts their own routines[7]. The protesters in Tel Aviv were not in support of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s actions in the Gaza Strip[8].
