Which brings up a good point&#8230;are protests\/boycotts really useful?  The Palestian protest they had a few weeks ago was disruptive and disrespectful (noting that it was also the Day of Remembrance for the Holocaust).  And additionally, I had an argument with Anthony the only white friend I ever had here&#8230;about protests.
