Speaking of Israel...

Well if the reason you gave was that is was "a waste of my time", then I can see why they might have got a bit upset! You should have just said you were morally opposed to it.

Saying I was morally opposed is even worse! Saying you dont fall in line with the strictly pro-Israel crowd is basically political suicide. Not that I have political aspirations, but better not to close that door so early.

I had always read that most guys went to rallies more because the gals would be there than for the putative cause of the rally.

Yeah, in these kind of rallys the average age for female participation is 50 and they usually have kids.
