How so? Iran (or one of its proxies) wants to promote Hamas and their 
cause and hopes to build a bandwagon effect to convince everyone that 
their side is the morally and politically just one so that the majority 
just accept that doing what they want done seems to be the will of the 
people.

It's hard to get a bandwagon effect with only one or two sincere but 
misguided devotees. (I may be overly generous in thinking that ANY of 
the protesters are actually sincere.) The obvious solution: hire some 
professionals to get the job done properly. Suddenly dozens of people 
show up and naive observers start to think that maybe they are on the 
wrong side of history and start to rethink their positions. They can't 
tell that most of the pro-Palestinian demonstrators are professionals 
who will probably protest anything for the right price. (If they were 
offering sexual services, we would call them prostitutes.)

I'm sure I've heard of far left Jews in Israel who support the 
Palestinian cause. In that case, it's not so hard to believe some 
American Jews would have the same views where its easier since they are 
not in anywhere near the same danger as Israelis.
