      That’s why boycotting Isreal is illegal in many states.

      “As of 2021, 35 states have passed bills and executive orders designed to discourage boycotts of Israel. Many of them have been passed with broad bipartisan support. Most anti-BDS laws have taken one of two forms: contract-focused laws requiring government contractors to promise that they are not boycotting Israel; and investment-focused laws, mandating public investment funds to avoid entities boycotting Israel.”

    One way to kill any support for your cause in North America is to block roads, bridges or highways.

      Although, many salaried people with shit jobs were probably pretty stoked to have a good excuse to come in late.

        You’re so weak that your mind is changed by what people do to protest?

          I mean, isn’t that kind of the whole point of a protest? You hope that what your actions in the street will change someone’s mind.

        How logical and totally rational to base the validity of a protest with how its protested.
