MOTHER’S CRY FOR ‘PEACE’ : ISRAEL’S ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT LED BY SOLDIERS’ MOMS IN
GAZA

Amid the devastating conflict in Gaza, a small but resolute group of mothers is
defying the tide of public opinion. These women, whose sons are soldiers
fighting on the frontlines, have formed “The Mothers’ Cry,” a grassroots
movement advocating for an end to the ground invasion.



Their journey began on the sixth day of the war, after a Hamas attack left them
reeling. Rachel Madpis Ben-Dor, a veteran activist from the “Four Mothers”
movement, offered stark advice: “Be a mother. You know exactly what to do. You
are there to save lives, as simple as that.”

Michal Brody-Bareket, a math professor whose son serves in a special forces
unit, heeded that call. Witnessing the toll on her son’s unit – one killed,
eight wounded, stories of devastation – ignited her fire. Her first attempt at a
protest, a solitary sign demanding negotiations, ended in police intervention
and threats from passersby. Yet, she persisted.



Brody-Bareket opened a WhatsApp group, outlining arguments for withdrawal: the
heavy price paid, the elusive Hamas leadership, the soldiers’ vulnerability, and
the government’s perceived failures. The response was muted – only seven women
attended their first meeting. Some shared their sons’ accounts of
“Hiroshima-like” destruction, fueling their conviction.

“We want to encourage other solutions,” said Effi, another soldier’s mother,
“but the shock is so palpable.” Despite their anxieties, these mothers are
determined to support their sons and advocate for peace. Yifah Sahar, whose son
participates in the conflict, embodies this duality: “You must fulfill your
role,” she tells him, “and I must fulfill mine, and that is to advocate for
peace.”



Their stance contrasts with another group, “Mothers of the Fighters,” who demand
intensified action and resist pressure for de-escalation. Rina Shamir, whose
husband and son fight in Gaza, exemplifies this perspective: “Let us win the
war,” she shouts.

The anti-war efforts face hurdles. Police suppress their demonstrations, citing
concerns about public safety. Noa Sattath, an advocate for civil rights,
condemns this unprecedented crackdown, lamenting: “All the crackdown on freedom
of expression and on freedom of protest is unprecedented.”



“The Mothers’ Cry” may be a modest force, but they are growing. Their presence
in weekly protests amplifies their message. For Brody-Bareket, this nascent
movement offers a glimmer of hope: “It gives me a lot of hope. I am not
desperate anymore.” Yet, the weight of her mission – advocating for peace while
her son battles in the shadow of war – remains a silent burden she carries
alone.
