  1. Attacking embassies is illegal under international law. It also greatly harms to local economy by driving international investors and international business people and even domestic business people away. [By increasing business risk premiums.]

    Peaceful protestors who love Palestine and Israel and cry for justice help the Palestinian cause. Ruffians who illegally attack embassies [and as a result fuel anti Palestinian sentiment in China, Japan, Brazil, India and other countries that Palestine needs to cultivate to gain leverage with respect to Israel.]

    The real problem is insufficient leverage to pressure the Israelis to agree to a just solution. Attacking embassies reduces leverage.
