Even before the war, every week there were huge protests in Tel Aviv against the extremist government. Now they just have another thing to protest over - the hostages.
If in the next election Bibi will stay, then I guess a truly loud and large departure will happen.
Yeah but they’re not exactly protesting the gaza genocide, or even the war, just the government. Another government could do the same things to the gazans and no one (except for a tiny minority that do it now) would bat an eye.
The fear of reprisal in Israel is not from the government alone, but from a fascistic society. Recall the Arab Israeli girl who was susoended from school for showing sympathy with Gazan children, then was met with a crowd of her peers chating “we don’t want Arabs in our school” on return.
edit: And it’s worth emphasizing that palestinians have no rights. Their land has been stolen. They’re not even allowed to fly their flag. They can’t collect rainwater. They had a huge peaceful protest several years ago and zio snipers killed hundreds of people… Plus the ongoing genocide.
Then maybe it’s the perfect time to make it loud?

The wise wait until they’re out of the country to criticize a fascist regime, and even then they watch their backs.
This isn’t Russia, criticising the government publicly is still possible there.

It’s kinda not, though.
Grow up. Zios imprison people who refuse to serve in the genocide. Then they face attacks, death threats, etc. People who are actually religious jews are regularly attacked by zios I know a few decent people from “israel” who’ve had to flee because it’s a fascist death cult against both jews and palestinians and the wider region.
