In Israel, for years there have been regular (sometimes daily) protests against the right wing government, all throughout COVID, during terrorist attacks, and during war. Those protests spread throughout society, to the point where there was real talk of civil war over so-called "Judicial reform". The protests continue today over the hostages not being returned, over the devastation in Gaza, and the continued push to silence dissent.
I've heard every sort of insult one can imagine towards Israelis, and yet America is less than a week away from a leader with fascist aspirations, and I see no mass protests. Media and business have taken a knee, and there's no mass resistance movement.
Why is that? Where is the resistance to fascism?
Or is it just another case of a double standard?
