It put a stop to weekly anti-government protests that threatened to topple a government among the most radical in its history, and for Israelis, it's prompted grief, outrage, and an unrestrained military response. Now, Israel’s military is preparing a record 300,000 army reservists for a ground war in Gaza. But anger over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's failure to protect its citizens remains. So as the country prepares for more conflict, where will that anger go?
