Not on the large majority. Perhaps on the large majority of the ruling class. The proles remain generally aghast at both the actions of Israel as a nation and also at those who clearly support it. But, the proles are powerless until they find that the ruling class may rule over the proles only with the willingness of the proles to support the ruling class. If the proles were to do something as mundane as simply stop showing up to work for government work - clerical services, payroll, janitorial services - the ruling class would become powerless over the proles. First it would be "who's going to fill the toilet paper" and finally it would be "who will take up arms against their own people in order to enforce our rule". Then? Worldwide peace. Parents tending to their children. Workers earning enough to feed themselves.

But none of this happens because the proles are complicit in their own slavery. Thus the ruling class does literally whatever it wants with impunity.
