Instead of Dueling Protests, how about a Joint Protest?

 
When wrong is wrong, when both parties are guilty for the death of Gazans, then it is time for us to join together to protest against them both.

This does not need to be dueling protests. It does not need to be a pro-Israel protest in one part of town and an anti-Israel protests on the other side of the city.

In fact, it should be cause for Jews and Muslims to join as one. And cause for those who support Jews and Islam to stand as one. It is wrong for Israel to not be taking greater care to not kill the Gazans. But it is equally wrong for Hamas to be using the civillians as human shields. 

Sometimes, humanity needs to rise above its leaders, telling them they will not condone wickedness.

Of course, we know no such mutual protesting is likely. Or is it? Is it perhaps possible, after all? Wish a group of people would gather to protest the inhumanity of both sides. What would stop someone from organizing such a protest? Wish it would happen.
