Protest.

So my video did not come out the way I had hoped and the pictures were terrible as well. I was forbidden from wading into the throng (there had to be over a hundred people on the corner of Camelback and Central this afternoon) as I have an ever-vigiliant, level-headed bodyguard. I was shaking, I was so angry. I managed not to use coarse language or rude hand gestures, because there were a large number of children present, and regardless of how brainwashed those children may be, it's never right to use profanity in the presence of children.

Any how, there were plenty of anti-Israeli signs and calls for motorists to honk for peace as the leader of the protest led the crowd in a rousing call to push the Jews into the sea. A depressing number of Arizonans honked as I fought the urge to vomit, watching children dancing around, placing fliers on the windows of motorists stopped at the lights. A trio of young girls carrying the Palestinian flag walked across the street and stood in front of me, the seething girl on the corner, and my companion warned me silently--in a way only he can--to refrain from giving in to my anger and disgust. A bright spot was when I heard a man joking with his family as he crossed at the light, "If they want peace so bad, maybe they should stop bombing Israel."

I left disgusted and sad. It's never going to end, is it?
