A pro-Palestinian protest action briefly blocked all traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco Wednesday morning.

Starting at about 7:45 a.m. Protesters stopped cars and stretched banners across the roadway denouncing Israel’s bombing of Rafah in the Gaza Strip and demanding that the U.S. stop arming Israel.

Northbound and southbound traffic on the bridge was at a standstill as of 8 a.m.

    There’s no genocide to excuse. Though I’m curious as to why no one has been crying about the genocide in Ukraine. Since the goals of both invading forces are essentially the same.

    Sorry man, I just don’t fall into flavor-of-the-week outrage. Things are sometimes exactly what they are. Please, by all means though, continue to willfully misunderstand, and misappropriate the words of others as it suits whatever agenda you happen to be following at the time.

        Okay… last time I’m going to dumb down what I’m saying so you can understand:

        My point was that since the two wars are similar, and the reasons are similar- it’s strange that you’ve all chosen only the one to be outraged about.

        Pay close attention to this part:

        If there’s “genocide” happening in one- and very similar events are happening in the other… Then that one HAS to be genocide also….

        But it isn’t.

        because IT ISN’T.

            If it’s true that you really lost friends there- you really should be ashamed for using them to try and win an argument online with a stranger. I’m sure their lives meant more than a “gotcha” moment.

            You should delete that shit and plan to have more respect in the future. I’m sure they deserve better.

                Dude, whether it’s about wining an argument- or trying to make a point, stop using your dead friends to do it. It’s incredibly disrespectful.

                    For starters… it’s in bad faith to use the dead as a crutch to support an argument with someone online. Especially when it cannot be proven if it’s even true. It muddies waters and distracts from the point. Which clearly has been your intention all along.

                    So I will say this, and then not speak any more on the subject.

                    If you do have friend that are victims of this war, then you shouldn’t be using them as reasons why you are right about your point and others are wrong in discussions with people that are irrelevant to you and them. It’s disrespectful.

                    If you DON’T have friends that were victims of this war, then you are a shameful and disgraceful person and I pity you.

                    Okay. At this point I truly believe you’re a right-wing troll that’s here to make shit up to stir a pot.

                    Blocking you now, like everyone else does. Enjoy the wind tunnel you’re creating for yourself.
