FoxNews reporting on the anti-Israeli protests that appear to be "nationwide"

San Francisco's protest is on the Golden Gate Bridge. Chicago involved blocking traffic into O'Hare Airport. And Lower Manhattan in New York City.

They called them pro-Palestinian, and so far I can't hear Fox News's bias. Probably haven't decided which side would hurt Biden more.

aware, that is illegal, and they deserve to be arrested.

The jackasses on January 6th should have been arrested too.

Not the ordinary citizens who don't.

(nb: walking in Downtown Brooklyn and came across a protest group marching through the streets. I can reliably report that the Brooklyn Borough President doesn't influence American foreign policy.)

traiffic in order to be heard. I wouldn't have any respect for them if they just stood by without raising a little hell. Yea, I would have my drawers in a wad if I were inconveinced too, but I am not watching unrestricted warfare being carried out against my folks.

How about a little perspective here. Put on the scales 30,000+ dead (most of them women and children) on one side and a traffic jam on the other and see where the balance of justice falls.

What did they think would happen?

Also within that 30000 killed, 10000 were identified as Hamas

When Bill Clinton left office, a framework was provided for a Palestinian state, which George W. Bush refused to continue, along with ignoring the Hart Rudman report.

78% of the American Muslims voted for George W Bush, that worked out real well.

Those protesters who are saying they will not vote for "genocide joe", if that contributes to trump reoccupying the WH, that will work out real well for them also.

Because I saw video from the Golden Gate bridge.

Yeah. I don't think their people are overseas. Call it a hunch.

racist, when in fact it is pointing out some of THOSE people are wearing hezbolah garb, which implies they are supporting a group which engages in terrorism, that is the intentional targeting of civilians.

And if those protesters think that is a good look that will garner support, they are out of their f**king collective minds.
