7. "Protestor with Israeli flag": agitating for more government protection against terrorism, Eilat.

When I encountered this woman waving the Israeli flag next to a shopping mall, I spoke with her at length. She explained that she felt the government wasn't doing enough to protect Israeli citizens. That morning, a terrorist attack in Jerusalem had killed police and bystanders alike.
