This doesn’t help their cause at all.. it just pisses regular Americans off..

[briancrawford]

These people certainly know how to lose support for their cause

[n.y.]

The most pro-tunnel people in the world blocking tunnels. Make it make sense.

[Kim-Berly]

I want to understand how this is supposed to help their cause ?

[branjohnson]

imagine doing this to stick up for others while destroying the lives of your fellow citizens. what if someone HAD to be somewhere and lost out completely on a fabulous opportunity or needed to be at a critical health appointment and missed it due to this. ridiculous, selfish and totally makes null and void their intent to help anyone. what shallow, ignorant fools.

[MrFartquad]

Why are they protesting in the US? Shouldn't they book flights to Israel to protest?

[Artoconnell]

Florida passed a law that allows drivers to proceed in their designated lane of travel unhindered..

[mikelee]

To stop this idiocy is to NOT give these people any air time. The news is just fueling these idiots and they will do this again knowing that they are getting free press.

The new law should be that all who Demonstrate on GAZA's behalf should be sent to Gaza.

[Theendbeginsagain]

So making people lose their jobs is supposed to gather sympathy for their cause?

[deborahpetersen]

I don't think it is right for protesters rights to supersede those of drivers. What do we have to do with the issue at hand. Why is that allowed or fair. They interrupt our day making us late for work. Please do something about this.

[bwithgod]

Yep that will piss off the common worker.

[Angie_Slay]

What if someone had an emergency and needed to get to the hospital .. better yet if someone died because they were unable to get through because of the protestors would they be charged with involuntary murder or manslaughter?

[MrRoku-pwcu]

You need to protest the toll rate hikes

[Tigerous]

I understand innocent people are drying but stopping other innocent people from doing their daily work to live isn’t a good idea to have people listen to you.

[Leonardo-onsp]

I was on my way to protect Gaza but they blocked me 😮

[mydoto]

how many hearts these protestors won over? zERO. how many enimies they made?

[mikehenkes]

Remember in Canada when the Truckers did this they where beaten, arrested, and removed from the banking system!

[janetprice]

This endangers lives. It is irresponsible.

[Self-fundedCents]

U don’t get people’s support by mess up their day
