Why is it surprising?

Fwiw my Jewish friends have also been quite vocal in opposing Netanyahu/Likud, usually more vocal than Muslim friends.

I think it’s surprising because Israelis are very loud in their support for Netanyahu. Yeah, there are protests but it polling suggests that the overwhelming majority of Israelis support Netanyahu.

Comments like that reminds of people asserting blanket statements like: majority of Iranians support the regime and hate Jews!

Like do people not realize Iranian Jews also exist?

Anyway I digress..

Over 60% of Israelis believe there is nobody innocent in Gaza. That’s like the core operating principle of the Netanyahu-Smotrich-Ben Gvir government. The Israeli street is thoroughly behind the Genocide and the polling has been showing this for over a year.

My gut assumption is that people will default to tribalism, but that has proven to be wrong over the past few years.
