*shrug* where's the problem? Embassies are treated as, for all intents and purposes, part and property of the state they belong to, thus in guarding the Israeli embassy he would in effect be guarding the state of Israel... and given his stated reason for not wanting to do that, why should he? If it were me I wouldn't either, and I'm not a Muslim. But as usual you ascribe the actions, even the peaceful, non-violent kinds such as this one which you attack them for not doing, of one individual Muslim to the entire Muslim population and their religion... which is stereotyping, but here you are going off about "tolerance, equality, peace" - where is your tolerance and respect for someone who doesn't share your unconditional support of Israel and their chosen non-violent method of protest?

You seem to want it both ways here, as usual, on this issue. Would your reaction, or anyone else's, be the same if say a British Jew refused to guard the Iranian embassy? Somehow I doubt it.
