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.

    One day you will make up and have to face the fact you’re playing semantic games with war crimes and atrocities.

      If I’m lucky, it’ll be the same day you wake up and understand that there’s nuance to almost everything that exists- And that the manufactured outrage you are feeling over things happening in a country you didn’t give two shits about a year ago- have been playing out for nearly a century- and will continue to play out long past your time on this planet.

        That is a weird assumption.

        There’s nuance to almost everything that exists

        I am not sure warcrime is something you want to be nuanced about. In fact, regarding the horror of the matter, I think I would better be over-cautious.

          Just read up on it for once… and yet and understand what genocide means while you’re at it. Having taken a quick trip through your comment history- I can see that you have absolutely nothing to offer of any value to any discussion I might find myself it.

          So I’m going to block you so I don’t have to keep suffering second-hand embarrassment.
