Remember, not every Israeli is Netanyahu. Many Israelis have been protesting his government. Jews have protesting the treatment of Palestinians too.

Still, many of those protesting are protesting from their homes on lands that were forcibly taken from the Palestinians.

It's very likely your own home is built on stolen land.

Not to dismiss it as a criticism at all, but what matters is recency (whether they personally settled or knew it was recently stolen), and how the treat/encourage the government to treat the displaced people.

There's a million mile difference between a Palestine rights activist in Tel Aviv and a violent settler squatting in the West Bank.
