    Many governments are astonishingly dumb. If I were in charge and wanted to make pro-Israel politics, I would let them demonstrate whatever they want. Just would keep completely ignoring those demonstrations and avoid the theme altogether.

    Peaceful demonstrations are completely useless, no need to fight them.

    Luckily, most governments are dumb.

        In most cases, they don’t. And if they do, then the government can use the police. Why provoke people before they even try to do anything?

        In my culture we have an expression “to let the steam out”. Peaceful protests are, actually, counterproductive because they instill a feeling like something meaningful has been done, while in reality they just let the pressure out. Every tyrant should LOVE peaceful protests.
