People already are set out to destroy them, just not publicly. It's not as simple as, 'I don't like those bastards, let's fucking kill them'. The current climate suggested that the Faunus and Humans are at peace, and there are peaceful attempts such as Velvet (transfer student) being carried out to mediate that relationship. No sane politlcal parties - I mean, no extreme political parties, since extremes are infamous of doing the unbelievable no matter how stupid/smart an act is - will be stupid enough to call out for a move against the White Fang, which will practically setup the next stage of the Human/Faunu War.

It's likely that the White Fang wants the Humans to fight back, so they can gain more supporters and have a legitimate excuse to go beyond the petty crimes they've been committing thus far. To actually stop them, the movement must come from the Faunus themselves, and unless certain human factions (like Cinder's most likely) wants war then the Humans are very likely content to just sit and wait for the next big thing to happen.

To the Humans, this is ultimately the Faunu's problem, and they were supposedly the victims here. There's no reason for them to interfere publicly and risk retribution - in fact, some parties may even be happy to see the Faunus fight amongst themselves, and if the White Fang commits actual terrorism the war loving ones can even see support to eliminate the 'Faunu threats' once and for all.
