"We're enduring multiple missile attacks daily, which means people aren't sleeping. It's like a manual for tyrants. It's how you suppress protest or opposition and it's working so far."
"It's not so much that people are telling you that you can't so much as protesting becomes impossible when a missile attack could happen at any time."
"As exhaustion grows and resentment builds over having their fates decided by often distant leaders, societal fractures that came to define the war on Gaza are almost inevitable."
Censorship and the threat of violence suppress dissent in Israel as the war with Iran continues. Schools and cultural venues are closed, and public gatherings are heavily monitored. Demonstrations occur under strict supervision, with police dispersing crowds during sirens. The constant threat of missile attacks leaves citizens overwhelmed and exhausted, hindering their ability to protest. While support for the war remains strong, growing resentment towards distant leaders may lead to societal fractures similar to those seen during the Gaza conflict.
