Thank you. David__77 Mar 28 #27

Do you realize that there was a ceasefire on October 7? That many Gazans worked in Israel? question everything Mar 28 #52

Tell it to Netanyahu. He kept Hamas in power. Autumn Mar 29 #61

Hamas was never in danger of being replaced NickB79 Mar 29 #80

With the help of Netanyahu. Hamas and Netanyahu will never allow a 2 state solution. Autumn Mar 29 #91

You don't seem to understand protesting or the constitutional right to do so. Or you ignore it. Autumn Mar 28 #16

My point isn't against the protest, but an observation of their selective protests. They seem to be very selective JohnSJ Mar 28 #17

As one who has protested a lot in my younger days you don't protest the people who don't give a fuck. Autumn Mar 28 #21

So how should one protest? Sit at home and write lovely perfumed letters? Autumn Mar 29 #58

You're the one who said protesting was a blast. shrike3 Mar 29 #68

Yeah I did and it was. It ended the Vietnam war. No matter how you look at it. That was a big fucking deal.. Autumn Mar 29 #71
