I don't see that. For example, it has been the official position of the German government for at least 20 years to strongly criticize the Israeli settlements. There's regular critical reports in the press, endless TV discussions and so on. Can you name someone who has actually had to suffer negative consequences for reasonable criticism of Israel?

The critic is more than gently. If you are searching for responses to the apartheid critic of AI you will find mostly nothing going into the argument but mostly arguments against and relativations. Yes you can critic Isreal … but at first you have to see into the eye of the shitstorm coming to you and calling you antisemit. Sorry but even the harez is more openly critizing Israel.
It seems you're shifting the goal posts now. The fact that consensus criticisms are not as harsh as you'd like doesn't mean that Israel is "totally off limits". Discussions and criticisms are happening; and the fact that public opinion doesn't match yours can not only be explained by that opinion being suppressed, but also by it being wrong.
„totaly off limits“ was a bit over the top. Its only my personal perception. I travel a lot in europa and read different papers.. etc. Based on that whas my argument. And that is a personal opinion so not realy valid
