Can someone please calmly explain how blocking a freeway across an ocean and a country on a different continent, is supposed to have any effect on a political issue in the middle east?

    Last time I was held up by these people, I was on my way to try to pick up my dog’s cancer medication. So no, I don’t sympathize with them.

      My dog’s cancer medication is more important than the wars in the Middle East, too

      Will that’s the point of protests to remind people like you that there are a genocide happening and you government is supporting it.

        It’s all performative. Everybody knows what’s happening there. They didn’t bring attention to the genocide; they brought attention to themselves.

          That’s the point of protests to remind politician that if they dont hear the demands they will lose votes.
