People notice that they get attacked when they criticize Israel online, and eventually they keep quiet. I haven't seen examples of this. I post quite critical stories about Israel's policies (some from the press in Israel, others from places around the world) on my Facebook wall, and not even my Facebook friends who occasionally display Israeli flags as Facebook profile photos seem to mind. Here on Hacker News, the one country that people can "attack" almost with impunity is the United States, but of course every United States citizen, including me too, has plenty to criticize the United States about, so all I ask is that criticism be factual and made with some international perspective. I think most Israeli citizens, and for the most part operatives of the Israeli government, have the same approach: criticize what deserves criticism, and give us a chance to discuss the policies of our country openly, but don't ignore the rest of the world in the process.
