The protests supposedly began not about Israel but about them not reforming the government fast enough, then a group went from there off to the Israeli embassy to trash it.
I said at the time, just wait for them to start rioting over how long it takes to hold elections, then riot when they don't get who they want, then riot again when the new government doesn't magically generate billions in revenue to improve public services and don't magically drop tax back to tiny levels so everyone is really rich, etc, etc.
Once a large group of people learn they can riot and win if they don't like something, you're in big trouble.
