    What is it with the left and their love affair for Palestinian Muslims? I didn't see them protesting like this when Putin invaded Ukraine or when Hamas slaughtered over a thousand Jews, Americans and others.

    Shutting down highways violates people's freedom of association and the protesters, especially the organizers, should be held accountable.

    They should be immediately arrested and removed from the highway.
    I support protests, but not blocking thoroughfares or damaging any one else's property.
    Most of the people these groups are "hurting" have nothing to do with Israel or Hamas.

    Judges have caused this. Every time these idiots do this, the police come in and take them away (eventually) and then they get sued. The judges give the groups a lot of money that they then use to plan another idiotic protest in order to make more money. There is no excuse for it. The state legislators could probably change it and create laws to exempt police and cities from any liability when the yahoos block traffic or some such childish act. But they won't because liberals will do what liberals do.

    I hate it when dumbasses block roads and highways. I gleefully laugh my ass off when they get dragged away by the fuzz. LOL

    Do these morons simply not realize that Middle Eastern Arabs hate their American guts and would gladly kill them?

    What a bunch of absolute idiots.

    Do you not understand they're the ones that chant death to America? That Iran calls us the great Satan?

    But nice move trying to turn it around on me

    So they should die? That’s your point right?

    I’ll bet many of these protesters cheered when Hamas attacked the Jews.

    Palestinians are being slaughtered. People don't like it.
    Puting isn't massacring civilians like Israel is. It is a fairly evenly matched matched conflict, not one side getting slaughtered by the other. And everyone spoke out the Hamas attack, but it was a single day event. Israel has been massacring civilians for months now, and it is ongoing. So yeah, they are speaking out against the evil Israel is inflicting. I don't see a problem with it.

    That being said, I don't think traffic should be blocked, whether it is truckers or war protests.

    Did you know that if you put clothing on a straw man you can then go on to call it a scarecrow?

    Here at PF we have a handy quote function so if you think that's what I said you should easily be able to quote me saying it.

    But of course you won't be able to do that because it's your straw man

    A) yes, Russia is massacring civilians.
    B) Ukraine isn't hiding behind the skirts of little girls.
    C) Ukraine isn't preventing their citizens from fleeing the country while the fighting is going on.
    D) Ukraine didn't start the war unlike Hamas.
    E) Hamas could have ended the war on day 2 had they released the hostages.

    So when a lib doesn't like what Israel is doing, he, she, it makes his neighbors pay for it.

    Hundreds of anti-Israeli protesters wreak havoc in downtown NYC, disrupt bridge traffic as cops make arrests

    Hundreds of anti-Israeli protesters wreaked havoc in Lower Manhattan on Monday, storming the Brooklyn Bridge and grinding traffic to a halt on its Manhattan-bound side as cops in riot gear fought to contain the unrest.

    The marchers converged on the historic span around 3:45 p.m., immediately disrupting cars and prompting NYPD cops to swarm the area and begin cuffing at least 20 of them.

    If that isn’t what you’re saying, then I don’t know why that would be an argument against protesting, a perceived genocide of those people.

    Be honest, do you think protests in this country by pro hamas people would impact the military decisions of Israel?

    Not at all. It simply means that they have no place in American society. Just like none of us have any place in Middle Eastern society.

    Only if they rely on us for money/military aid and UN support.

    Having no place in their society doesn’t mean we can’t protest against a perceived genocide of them.

    Yes you can do that while they have protests in Dearborn where they gather together and scream death to America. That is a brand new thing in America that could not have happened a decade ago. These kind of protests generally precede Islamic terrorism, so if this Israel thing doesn't resolve quickly, I fully expect mass casualty events in America in the very near future.

    What I was saying was pretty clear. You have to be a moron to be an American and be rooting for the people who regularly chant death to America and call our nation the great Satan.

    Now how you managed to take that and completely twist it around and totally misrepresent it and pretend that I said that that means that we should kill the Arabs..... Is completely anyone's guess.

    So your point was that they should die. Why did you argue when I asked that?
    They’re rooting for them not to die, why would that bother you if that isn’t what you want??

    It's literally like banging my head into a dead horse against a brick wall...

    Literally no one said that but you.
    Please go waste someone else's time with your foolishness. It appears that you're having legitimate hallucinations
