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.

    So you are excusing genocide because you are afraid your team will lose in your country? lol how selfish is that?

      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.

            Nah we get it, it’s just normal war crimes. Guess it makes it all better now. I’ll tell my friends who lost their entire family that they can quit crying now, they are not genocided. They will be so relieved. Phew, they really dodged a bullet there!

              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.

                Omg you think this is about “winning an argument”. How fucked do you have to be? people are dying, i dont give a shit about internet argument. Sorry it hurts your genocidal apologists feelings.
