I'm gonna tell you a secret, no one is going to arrest you for saying what you are saying in the USA. I'm pretty sure most Americans are not even that much into Israel to begin with. It's just a game of geopolitics.
And we are talking about the USA again. The west is not just the USA btw. Also, I've been to Israel, a couple times now, and that place is so fucked up, it's not even a joke.
This being said, have you tried doing what I said? Answer me clearly. Go to Red Square, protest against the occupation of Ukraine. Go to Tienanmen square, protest against the occupation of Tibet. Just try it.
I'll go to Rome or Paris or London to protest against Israel if you want, it's really not a big deal. Actually, it's more likely somebody would join me than arrest me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well in Russia's case, they just arrest everyone and put them in jail for 5-15 years and make up laws saying that you can't criticise the army/government or protest. So people stop protesting because they don't want to go to the shithole that is Russian jail, or even worse like in one case with a schoolgirl doing a non-approved drawing, the father being subject to CIA torture methods (i recall one of them he had the russian anthem blasted at him at ear-damaging volume, which is what the CIA done in Guantanamo bay).
Also, the elections are rigged in Russia (just so you know that information).
