How do you type this without pausing to consider how absurdly hyperbolic you're being? I don't support Israel in its war against Gaza whatsoever, I was thrilled to see the war crimes charges against Netanyahu and public sentiment turning against the conditions there but if I don't support freeway blocking protests in another continent that don't even attempt to separate out those that support the war, I'm being "absolutely monstrous?" How could anyone be expected to take you seriously here when you exaggerate THAT badly?
Edit: Oh, and "Few hundred people made slightly late"
Gonna stop you right there. You have no idea how many cars get backed up for how long, who has drinking water, working Air Conditioning, emergencies to get to, whether or not someone died in an ambulance stuck in traffic. You're making up the rosiest scenario, pretending this isn't dangerous and life threatening, and then pretending that's the reality as if you could know. It's wildly dishonest.
