You can make your voices known while not being destructive………everyone has right to, protest but not to destroy property or incite riotous behavior….

[Jriddle]

Do these people really think trump is going to help the Palestine people? He’s in cahoots with bibi

[Killer-SeveN]

Bunch of single issue voters, totally short sighted to prioritize Gaza over your own safety at home.

[thecoronagirl]

How come they don't protest when trump is around?What are they afraid of him

[harveyjohnson]

Why don't they go to their country Tell both parties over their to promise to stop killing each other?

[flippineck]

Meanwhile on Jan 6th... They had a hand full of police officers that essentially opened the door to the building... Weird how they provide different security for different events🤔🤔

[garybakalarski]

Mostly peaceful protesters ? Crime down ? Fences ? Extra cops ? Extra SECURITY ? Tolerant left ?

[Coyotegal]

Let me guess they won't be put in prison for years. Wonder why.

[DengShabu]

OMG, its almost like walls work to keep people out of places they're not supposed to go.
