    There has got to be a way to do this without hurting regular people.

    Like I agree with the protestors 100%… but trapping people on a bridge? Blocking traffic? That’s dangerous and irresponsible.

    Direct action and disruption is necessary, but this is absolutely the wrong way to do it.

      Nothing like exercising your right to protest by infringing on everyone else’s right to travel freely.

        I’m still curious as to how people think a ceasefire will help, when historically letting terrorists proliferate has the opposite effect and only spreads more islamic terrorism and even more deaths long term. Do people really want to keep this revolving door of teaching palestinian children to murder their neighbors?

        The protests that Google employees are doing right now is the right way.

        Protest in front of politicians homes, businesses, etc. Protest in front of companies and businesses that are complicit. Target the people who have clout.

        Actions that harm only the general public… how is that supposed to work? What do you think the end result will be?

      “Lol, sorry we couldn’t get a firetruck to your burning apartment building, the road was blocked.”

        They actually have a specific procedure for getting emergency vehicles through. These guys aren’t blocking firetrucks.

        Leftism: The proletariat harming the proletariat is worse than ineffective, it is self-defeating.

          Maybe as leftists, we should protest against the bourgeoisie instead of each other, but that might inconvenience some people.
