Israel-Hamas war: will the murder of peace activists mean the end of the peace movement?

The recent terrorist attack by Hamas in Israel has instilled a sense of uncertainty and pressure on the peace movement and anti-occupation activism in the country. After October 7, Dorit Rabinyan, a board member of several left-wing organisations opposing Israel's occupation of the West Bank, told the New York Times: "I know it's not noble of me, I know there is suffering on the other side, but the other side took hostages and slaughtered so violently, with so much passion, that my compassion is somehow paralysed."
