  1. Depending on the country, there is a large Arab and Muslim population (or Palestinian diaspora in already Islamic countries). They're vocal about the violence imposed on them, their families, and their people.
  2. Israel's lobbying industry is very strong. They pour a lot of money into various countries and the politicians and businessmen risk losing their income if they don't squash dissent
  3. The US will punish you. Zionism is non negotiable
  4. In the US and elsewhere, it may be election season and having thousands of people calling your candidate a supporter of genocide is not a good look. Even if they successfully arrest you and whatever, people are recording, the message spreads, and your name becomes associated with genocide. The average person may not fully believe it, but because of number 1, they may be hesitant let their own names be tainted because of someone they support
