The law protect everyone, not just the ones you want.

That about sums things up for all of the innocent Lebanese civilians killed by the IDF - "collateral damage". Only nobody gave a damn because they're Arabs, of course, and mostly Muslim as well; so instead you get outraged over a hypothetical and one man's moral/political decision not to protect the embassy and outlaw regime it represents, whose IDF was founded on a network of Israeli terrorist cells that amalgated to form the then newly created "Israeli Defence Forces" and which routinely flaunts international laws.
Then there is the matter of the Israelis celebrating, while they were recently bombing Lebanon to rubble, the anniversary of the Israeli terrorist bombing of the King David hotel which killed scores of British nationals. So no, I don't blame him; and no, the law does not protect
everyone, and it is not about "everyone" but the embassy itself and what it represents.
This guy made a political/moral decision and that is all there is to it. You and I make them all of the time as well, though I doubt anyone's ever used your religion as a basis for attacking the ethical decisions you've made, have they? And there is the difference. And again, I wouldn't do it and I'm a Christian, which is kind of hard to square with the "logic" running throughout this thread seeing as how this guy's choice was so obviously because he's "Muslim" and therefore typical, while I am not Muslim... but that's the problem with stereotyping and trying to put everyone into neat little categories because they happen to be Muslim, or American, or German. Its just nonsense. People to need to grow up, get out more and try broadening their little circle of friends beyond those of the same race/religion... maybe then we'd see some sanity in the world. The intolerant crap and stereotyping from various posters in threads like this and Jihad are just two sides of the same coin and only serves to pour fuel on the fire.
