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.
