      You’re strawmanning it. Protesting to stop bombing civilians in Gaza is not the same as supporting Hamas.

      Unless by “protest in favor of a mass murdering genocidal terrorist organization” you mean the pro-IDF rallies right?

          What could Hamas do to stop the violence?

          At the moment, they’re desperately negotiating for a ceasefire in Egypt. But without an Israeli government willing to accept an offer, there’s nothing they can do because they’re not the ones with the tanks and the bombers.

          You can not just go somewhere without a permission and occupy other peoples property.

          You absolutely can and people routinely do.

          The dudes could protest 365 days a year on roads where they have permission.

          Who grants permission to access public property?

          Sack them. Fine them. Teach them.

          What?

              Sure Hamas begs for a cease fire because Israel is tearing them a structurally superfluous new a-hole.

              They’re butchering civilians, flattening hospitals, and sending IDF ground troops in to do TikTok dances in rooms full of women’s lingerie while blood is still visible on the walls.

              And then you are regularly arrested for trespassing and damage to property.

              Setting aside the abysmal crime clearance rate for breaking-and-entering, you’re only subject to arrest if you’re on the wrong side of the police. This leads to a peculiar situation in which law enforcement can and do break into people’s property, ransack it, and occasionally kill the inhabitants, without consequence. What’s more, civilians allied with the police can raid property and engage in assault without consequence, because a given officer/DA tacitly approves of the offense.

              Shame on you if you tell people to disregard the law

              When might makes right, there is no law to disregard.
