Palestinian Protesters shut down NYC bridges & Holland Tunnel

[Melensdad]

I don't get these protests. Shutting down roads. This seems to me to be a great way to make an enemy. Who, other than the protestors, thinks these are a good idea? Not truck drivers, not commuters, not kids on school buses, not anyone in an ambulance or first responder vehicle.

The good news is that over 300 of them were arrested. I only hope that the prosecutors do more than slap their wrists. Let's see a bunch of $500 fines with 1 or 2 nights in jail for the 1st offense. Ratchet that up to $1000/week for the 2nd offense.

Anti-Israel protesters block traffic at three NYC bridges, Holland Tunnel​

Amanda Woods , ​

​

Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters swarmed three bridges and the Holland Tunnel in Lower Manhattan on Monday morning, creating chaos as they blocked traffic and prompting at least 339 arrests.​

​

Demonstrators from the “Shut it Down for Palestine” rally marched through City Hall Park before groups of them descended on the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges and tunnel around 10 a.m., wreaking havoc as they shut down at least sections of the major travel thoroughfares for about an hour.​

​

“You can’t do that! It’s against the law,” an agitated motorist yelled at some of the protesters as he tried in vain to make a left onto the Manhattan Bridge from the Bowery, while another man filming the confrontation with his phone shouted, “Hit ’em all! Run ’em over!”​

​

The driver then got out of his vehicle and shoved three of the demonstrators, warning them to stay away from his car as he screamed, “I have a daughter in Brooklyn! … I have to get home!”​

​

The protesters eventually backed off and allowed the driver to cross the river. . . .​

Of course, for those who want to go stand in the roadway and create road rage, they actually have an organizing website that helps people gather together to call for genocide.

this whole debacle is an enigma.

#1
there is zero question that Hamas launched a attack on Israel - killed a bunch of people - took a bunch of hostages - some 'found' dead - some returned . . .

#2
it is historical FACT that the people called Palestinians (in that region) _elected_ Hamas to be their government.
sad fact #2, , , Hamas has canceled/forbidden any elections since . . . Hamas has taken the apparent position they have been elected for eternity.

#3
in the years following WW2 'settlements' the Islamic nutcases have been keen on eliminating all Jewish peoples from the area.
#3a the Jewish people inhabited these areas centuries before Mohamed was born - the Jewish peoples are in proven fact the first natives/inhabitants/owners of all the disputed territories. all the rest is lies.

#4
USA college students have been keen to demonstrate against anything - bras to draft cards - for decades upon decades.

so . . . . if the Russians were shelling/bombing/droning USA cities/civilians like the Russians are doing in Ukraine,
and like Hamas is doing in Israel, and Houthi are doing to cargo ships . . . .
would they protest?

I believe they would.

The Higher so called "education" centers of our nation pave become patently anti American. This is hard to understand since, in most cases, America is where they are preparing to have a future. One would think they would be reluctant to put it down or diminish their future opportunities.

A lot of the money they receive are from foreign countries, mostly China and it all comes with strings attached.

YUP

Especially the elite schools that are in the media. Huge amounts of money from China. But a good bit from Muslim oil producing nations too.

Honestly I think HILLSDALE College in Michigan is one of the best schools in the nation for actually getting an education right now. St Thomas Aquianas University and a few others too. There is a new school in Austin, TX that shows promise at fighting WOKE crap and really teaching honestly, but too early to tell.
