    When the state responsible for the genocide is reliant on our military aid its disingenuous to refer to it as a “genocide on the other side of the planet”

      It’s realistic. And these protesters could be realistic and maybe even effective if they tried to disrupt production of that aid we’re sending to Israel. But I’m pretty sure F-15s aren’t made on a bridge.

        There is difference between peaceful protest and sabotage. Exactly like there is a difference between discussing with someone and punch them in the face.

        If you think people should not discuss because it’s pointless and should directly switch to punch in the face I suspect you are not necessarily the internet stranger I want to listen to

          disrupting production is sabotage, but disrupting the economic health of a city is…?

          at least you would be inconveniencing people that have a stake
