Sir, – Now that the Syrian government is busy brutally massacring its own people, one wonders if the protest lobby who are so vocal on the matter of Israel and Palestinians will be nearly as active on this outrageous assault.

Protests at the Iranian embassy in Blackrock, Co Dublin? Not likely. – Yours, etc,
