There have been regular demonstrations going on for years, I know people who have been going pretty much every week. They get labelled out of touch bleeding heart traitors or generally ignored by the media (so that others don't get encouraged to join). There have been more and more anti-protest laws being passed since 7.10, and the police are happy to use them, they'll arrest relatives of those who were killed or who are still hostages who are there to call for change, it's disgusting.
I know they've also been trying to target Bibi's house with demonstrations, but he is hiding out with his rich friends and makes sure to only go back to Caesarea when he knows they aren't there. It's hard to organise under a fascist government, especially one that invents the spywares all the other governments buy. I hope they keep fighting.

Edit to be clear: yes, it is even harder to organise under occupation of another government, but I am not qualified to speak of the Palestinian experience, so I don't.
