Demonstrations are different in Israel. Yes, of course, other locations have to deal with a Sitra Achara in other locations, but it operates in different ways.
Those who are still blessed with a golus mentality may not be able to understand the underlying concept that makes things different. Perhaps only Israelis can experience the profound realization that everything that they do is recorded. Only Israelis understand that their actions have an impact on the well-being, security, and continuity of the country as a whole.
These concepts are alien to most people who have not observed and experienced the miraculous ways in which Israel operates.
On the one hand, those miracles protect and help the residents and inhabitants of the country.
On the other hand, this protection comes at a price. It requires and demands that the populace and citizenry observe the teachings of the Torah.
This concept of security based on G-d, rather than on an army, is alien to most people. It has to be experienced to be understood.
Only in Israel can this concept be experienced.
The feeling and understanding that every action does have an impact changes the way that people see their world. It means that they make an extra effort to assure that things will be done in the way that they believe is right for their country - and for its future.
