Jewish protest
A small number of Jewish Israelis who are against military action in Lebanon are also struggling to make their voices heard.
On Sunday, about 500 people joined an anti-war protest through central Tel Aviv and more demonstrations are set to take place next week.
In the 1930s and 40s, Uri Avery was a member of the Irgun, a militant Jewish group that carried out attacks on British forces in its campaign to found the state of Israel.
Now Avery, also a former Israeli commando, is a peace activist who is a leading a member of Gush Shalom, a group that campaigns for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land.
"We want to explain to Israelis what is wrong about the operation in Lebanon," Avery said.
"This whole crisis is rooted in the Palestinian problem. Hezbollah would not have made these attacks if Israel was not bombing Gaza."
Avery believes that despite an uphill struggle against Israeli public opinion, groups such as Gush Shalom can have an influence.
"The longer this war goes on, the less it will be supported," he said.
