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.

why should he are you really that thick he swore an oath to do his job his job is very well paid and what if every policeman decides he wants to only protect what he believes in what if your family came under attack and you phoned the cops and they said oh well i dont like you so tough not only that some other cop would have had to be pulled from other duties to do the work of this work shy twat and if he had an ounce of sense he would realise that hesbolla started the said incident by kidnapping israels soldiers
