I understand why the “Free Palestine” protestors want attention, but why do they need to block a road to prove a point? 1) it doesn’t help to prove your point and 2) it neglects your initial cause. I believe these are chaos actors trying to disrupt “normalcy” for attention. You’re going to see this a lot in 2024. I’m with the Palestinians to call their place their own and be free, so do Israelis, but this is not it.

@tracytran let’s also get a ruling on *which* illegal acts are valid forms of protest while we’re at it. I mean, can I just go beat the shit out of some rando’s for “Free Palestine”? (/sarcasm)

This is all so absurd. Part of Civil Disobedience is the getting arrested/going to trial/going to jail part.

@MookyTroubadour Yes, but what’s their actual meaning? It makes sense what and where you’re protesting. If you’re protesting in front of Congress for change, ok, I get it. If you protest on the streets or at a black church to “Free Palestine,” then you’re focusing on the wrong thing. It’s interesting these people will protest in the streets or at a black church, but not anything from the far-right.
