Protesters calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war blocked northbound traffic on Interstate 5 in Seattle for several hours Saturday.

Can someone please calmly explain how blocking a freeway across an ocean and a country on a different continent, is supposed to have any effect on a political issue in the middle east?

    Jewish people can be antisemitic, lmao.

    Equating zionism with jewishness is antisemitic

    Some of my family didn’t survive a death camp to be used as a cudgel for a settler colonial project.

    That argument shows complete disregard for the millions of Jews living there and the sequence of events that led to the need for a sovereign Jewish state in the first place

    This is using the holocaust to justify Israel, it is ahistorical and disgusting.
