Harassing Microsoft employees with insanely loud bullhorns, vandalizing their homes, interfering with private events, and breaking into offices is terroristic activity, not protest. The only boiling point is that society at large is fatigued by these rioters, and not swayed by them.
If the participants were at all honest, they would demand that the hostages be released and Hamas disband. But they won’t do that and they won’t discuss the murder and rape that took place on October 7 or the years of unprovoked rocket attacks on Israel before that.
When you say "society at large" I think you're only describing Israeli society. The American sentiment towards Israel is eroding rapidly and worldwide there has always been an attitude of distrust and dishonesty (especially post-Dimona). Even internally, US intelligence has long known they aren't getting the straight dope from Israel. Today's situation is a breaking point of Israeli design.
The ratio of vaguely Microsoft associated fanatics to total Microsoft employees is vanishingly small, regardless of their revolutionary vanguard status.

Not unprovoked whatsoever. Hamas' terrorism is what Israeli politicians chose, instead of recognizing PLO leadership: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_Hamas
