I think they are insane.   In think they are insane for believing that firebombing  ANY embassy ANYwhere will result in any significant social or political change.  Why do this anywhere?  Imo, any form of protest that is violent is horrible and therefore negative.

ETA:  When I was young, more than 40 years ago, I engaged in protest in several locations protesting several different problems.   In those wayback days, if the protest was violent, the police and other LEO entities would arrive on scene.  If the protest was passive, it was allowed to continue, and perhaps in some small cumulative way, made a difference.   Gentle protest makes a difference, particularly when there are many numbers.   If the protest shifts to violence, it is marginalized by the media.   This is a lesson that ANTIFA and BLM failed to learn.   If you want to make your mark, it cannot be wrought with violence.
