It’s actually on the people claiming there are “massive” protests to prove that’s true.

no its on both of you.

I made the fairly reasonable assertion that people don't come out on to the streets when there is a non-trivial chance of being shot, simply because someone told them to. (see protests in any other oppressive country)

Now, where is my source for that? well put it this way, I don't go out to protest that much and I'm in a non-oppressive country. the bar for protest where I might be shot or sent to a hole is waaaay higher.

Now to your point: "there are no protests, just a couple of isreali agitators"

The videos that I have seen show >thousand people on the streets, bearing down on police, or running away from the police. Different places, different times, but all in the last two weeks.

Now, that _could_ be selective publication, but I didn't see most of these videos through the press.
