This man wishes to write off all the protests as some form of left wing conspircy - I have never once voted for a left wing party - but I will be attending the next protest outside the Israeli embassy in Dublin because of my dissatisfaction with aspects of their administration's approach.

If the people want to protest, and march, that is their right. They can say what they want, as long as they conduct themselves properly. Would people be able to do that in those Arab states, such as Iraq? So, people should take advantage of such a situation. My problem isn't that they are a "blight on society," my problem with these marchers is that I think they just deem the Palestinians as these poor little innocents, which is far from the case, and I don't see them protesting against Palestine when waves of suicide bombers are attacking Israel. Its the irony of being critical of the United States in seemingly only supporting Israel when you are seemingly only critical of Israel.
