I don't know what is so hard about letting people express their opinion about a war. You are allowed to have an opinion and make some noise. No one has to agree with you and everyone can think you are a dumbass.
And if you are really worried about bigotry just use all that surveillance tech and record everyone there. If you really think that protests against a government means you are one step away from shooting up a temple wouldn't you want to know exactly who is likely to do it? When people are still talking you still have a chance to convince them that they are wrong, when people aren't talking is when you should be afraid. That means they are figuring out another way to get their point across.
Israel is making things difficult. The number of civilians killed is 10000+, that's very uncomfortable for our governments. It's also not like our countries can just quickly say, "whoa, those are blatant war crimes you're committing with our weapons!" It's impossible to pretend that we couldn't know what the IDF would do with them based on the ongoing history of the conflict. In the end it's a situation similar to Yemen, Iran and some others feed support into one side and atrocities are committed. The west feeds weapons into the other side and atrocities are committed. At this point the only thing that makes our ethical situation tenable is if everyone would just ignore it. Hence, no protesting please, you're pointing out some deeply shameful policy, please stop.

Ahh yes, the good ol' negative peace.
Zionists are desperate to maintain control of a narrative they've shaped for decades.
The fact everyone isn't standing with them the way they stood with the US after 9/11 pisses them off to no end.
Even though, you know, Israel was a major factor behind why the US was attacked in the first place. Funny that.
