You're saying you don't think the Israel protests are backed by state actors right? If so I would say they're very inefficient. If I even had a million dollars to devote to something like that I think I could cause a lot of damage.
not directly. I know many are organised internationally but it's not like Iran or Iraq are directly funding them - they don't have the capital to spare, they're sanctioned and every transaction is watched closely, and US FARA registration (the US version of the Russian Foreign Influence law that they're always crying about) stops NGOs that are unfriendly to establishment interests from setting up shop.

Maybe there were state actors backing the George Floyd protests. They had funds set up to bond people out which would be insanely expensive but also encourage more people to come out and probably cut loose a bit more than they normally would. And it all just seemed to happen at once. But there is no reason a state actor with an ax to grind with Uncle Scam shouldn't be investing in the protests. Everybody is talking about these going into the streets this summer too.
the point I was making is primarily domestic support - in the case of the BLM riots they had support from the media ('fiery but mostly peaceful'), legal support, political support and financial support as well as the backing of every major educational institution. protests against israeli behaviour have none of these.
of course countries that are opposed to the US would be willing to support unrest inside the country, but they have few ways to effect it in the same way that the US does with the CIA, USAID, NED, VOA etc.. most of the big-money leftist organisations have to tow the company line so the protests have to be grassroots, more ideological than financially or materially supported.
the strongest argument would be that mosques and Islamic groups are pushing the protests, but even then the largest and most aggressive recruiters are typically Sunni-Wahabbi-Salafi which follow Saudi Arabia and the gulf states politically. if not being directly against the protests they advise people to stay out of it.
regardless, looking at videos of the protests the majority are white(ish) students, not Arabs or Persians or other SWARTHY peoples, indicating that their motivation isn't primarily Islam.
the J'ewish aristocracy turned 'higher education' into a training camp for kids to turn every single issue into a political battle, to actively create societal division by having them riot and protest against every perceived injustice rather than consider long-term solutions.
they created the golem, and now that it's stomping around their living room smashing up their weird three handled cups and menorahs they don't know what to do about it.
