As a former Mormon I find this mildly interesting, but I don't have much hope that large numbers of LDS people will begin to protest against the genocide. The pro-Israel thing is deeply embedded... as in, I'm pretty sure there are an awful lot of LDS people who will see the sacrifice of a million or two Palestinians, even if totally innocent, as a reasonable price to pay for God's Chosen People getting the Land Of The Covenant to usher in the Second Coming.

Even deeper than that: Mormons are mostly herd animals. Dissent has been trained out of them (unless the dissent is authorized by the First Presidency).

    Now if it were super pissed off Quakers I'd be more positive for change.

    Well they were very against the current president as well but they all voted for him. I think the nature of being religious leads one too follow the leader. They have faith their leaders are not leading them into the abyss and this is all part of the great plan.
