1. Do they really think this is the way to get people over to their side by trying to stop people from making their flights

What a bunch of dumbfucks.

4. Chaos is the point.

I think that many people participating in these stunts believe they're doing a good thing. They're misinformed. They're being manipulated.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

7. Being manipulated by whom?

My educated guess would be Russia and Iran.
What better way to divert attention from the war in Ukraine than to have some of the, in the words of Lenin, useful idiots cause mayhem here in the US and divide Dems during the election cycle to get Benedict Donald back in the WH.

11. That's what I think, yes.

2. Another way to 'make friends and influence people.'

Smart???

3. 'Hamas Supporters' Would Be A More Accurate Headline

This whole 'Pro-Palestine' wheeze is tattered past repair. The slogans and demands make quite clear their allegiance.

13. Yes it would be. But they're

Not known for their honesty.

[RubyRose]

6. Someone is funding these protests.

[Calculating]

9. More useful idiots

I wish they would get a damn job

[Cha]

15. Yeah how would it

Feel to be such a useful Idiot!

Wonder if they’re getting paid or volunteer their Idiocy?

10. Follow the effing money. I'm still waiting for one word against the Right Wing from these astroturfers.

12. What a bunch of morons. They couldn't be better advocates for the pro-Hamas side.
