Phew, that's a hard one. People are still demonstrating for the safety of the Palestinian people, and the Israeli army is very much aligned with that (Israel provides medical supplies, helps evacuate people, etc.). In fact, the leading slogan in Israel is "Free Palestine, from Hammas". Though at least from what I'm saying there's a lot of talk about unity, so there's probably less public tolerance for protests. The thing is, Hammas butchered a lot of peace activists in this attack, they killed babies, they raped women, and they kidnapped many people. Everyone's children is now in Gaza fighting for the safety of everyone in Israel, and its mere existence. I think protesting about anything other than the return of the 240 hostages still help in captive would be considered bad taste.
