There are many possible criticisms of Israel that don't have anything to do with Jewish self-determination, though... or is the idea that because it's the only Jewish state they get a free pass on all their conduct? I'm not following the logic.

There are many legitimate possible criticisms of the state of Israel, and protesting around those criticisms is a frequent occurrence within Israel.

But how many protests have you seen outside of Israel that were debating a narrow Israel domestic policy issue, versus calling into question the legitimacy of the "Zionist entity"?

There is no free pass only a viewing through the very real lense that “the Jews” has been replaced with “Israel” or “the Israeli lobby,” by racist groups.
