Cars were stopped and chains were used to block traffic lanes on the famous bridge. Protesters also blocked traffic in Chicago, New York City and Seattle.
Protesters were blocking ships that were sending weapons to Israel.
Link? Because that would be a high quality protest I could get behind.
That’s not what the posted article is about, though. The posted article Is about protesters just blocking traffic. That’s what I was commenting on.
Any small group of dingbats can block traffic for a while. What they never seem to understand is that this kind of low effort protest doesn’t help their cause.
When you’re disproportionately affecting innocent people, many of whom may actually agree with your broader message, all you do is piss people off.
Blocking innocent people from getting where they’re going to protest something they had nothing to do with is just a kinder gentler version of bombing an apartment building and killing innocent people just because some militants are allegedly also in the building. They’re both great ways to convince people that you’re a shitty human being, but that’s about it.
Cool story bro!! So cool that the anti-protestor commenter is actually probably some amazing anti-genocide-in-gaza activist!!! I’m sure they have made national news with their protests!
I’m out here supporting and sharing the actions of people doing protesting the ongoing genocide, not putting them down like you. Not pretending I could do something better. I think they did a great job.
Educate yourself on what’s happening! Israel has concentration camps and they are routinely amputating the prisoners due to shackling-related injuries.

Not even going to bother to address your shitty anti-protest takes, lots of others have done so in other comments.
Please shut up. You have no idea whether they care or not.
Their dismissive attitude towards people protesting a genocide paints the whole picture. Learn to interpret the ideologies behind what people say.
Your ‘interpretations’ are just whatever best fits the narrative you’ve made up in your mind.
