Unfortunately, the media only show us the "bad" protests. That then gets amplified. So we don't see much if anything about the "good" protests. There actually were some. There was also a massive police presence blocking off many routes so some of the protests were choked off, leaving mainly the determined fanatics, fringe groups and their assorted provocateurs and infiltrators. The focus on these people is a crying shame. They do not represent the millions who marched across the globe, nor the best interest of Palestinians.
