Mr. Scandium,
You accuse posters of this thread of stereotyping Muslims, but you stereotype Israelis.
Then you state you are a Christian, I thought you were a Bhuddist or agnostic, and accuse posters of having a problematic logic. If this Muslim policemen worked as a firefighter and if you were trapped inside a building on fire and he decided to peacefully protest by not going inside the building as he'd have to enter and walk through a Jewish shop at the first floor, you wouldn't be here today. Your logic does not apply to yourself - Muslim workers can protest, but if they did so while you were in need of their service you would die.
The Muslim policemen has no way of telling who's inside that Embassy, British Muslims, British citizens, British Christians, foreign Muslims. He has no way of telling, he does not know it and cannot know it. On what ground does he base his political/moral decision then? On his ignorance of facts? On facade, on the surface, on the cover of the book? Not all Israelis are members of the Army and there are Israeli socialists calling for the end of Israel, should they suffer too? Because they were born in Israel they should accept the stereotyping in the name of the greater cause. What about the Arabs and Muslims with Israeli citizenship? Damned for meddling with the enemy.
Ignorance has not affected his decision, nor it affects yours:

How can you tell that this is the truth? I failed to discover your religion, I thought you were a Bhuddist or rejected all Christian churches, now you prove me wrong, and you want to convince me you know the circle of friends of the posters on this thread?
I suggest every poster here proves scandium wrong if that's the case. My circle of friends includes Arab immigrants, African descendants, Japanese and Korean immigrants and "Native Americans". I am myself a member of all "races": Indoeuropean, Asiatic and African. If having friends of all races or having mixed blood yourself puts one at an advantage, I await for your description, as I do not know it, before calling the advantage to myself.
Anyway, I don't think a world where policemen decide if they want to work or not, protesting on political/moral decisions based on the ignorance of facts, would be a world of sanity.
