Because complaining is seen as a betrayal to the Zionist project. If Israel is not seen as a positive country from the outside, then support for Israel is in trouble. They do not need everybody on their side, but especially American Jews are critical. So Israel build up this facade of a high tech democracy in the Middle East to show how they are working on some sort of Jewish paradise.
At the same time Israelis are turning towards hard core Zionism, because a lot of them have actually experienced violence against them. The idea of fighting back is very human, but obviously Palestinians also have very similar if not worse experiences with Israelis. So yeah big problem.
