At the sit-in by Jewish Voice for Peace, which occupied a national monument to demand an immediate end to the Israel-Hamas war.

Dressed uniformly in black, the protesters with Jewish Voice for Peace gathered on the pedestal shortly before 1 p.m. when they dropped massive banners with calls for a cease-fire and other slogans, such as “The Whole World Is Watching” and “Never Again for Anyone.” The group sang “Cease-fire now” and occupied the national monument for about 20 minutes before dispersing. The protest, which the group said included more than 500 people, continued on a ferry headed back to Manhattan.

    All that accomplishes is pissing people off and making them less empathic to your cause. Not to mention it has killed people by blocking emergency services.

      I guess someone should tell the Black Panthers, Stonewall and every successful worker right movement they did it all wrong and they shouldn’t have inconvenienced anyone.

      Also Rosa Parks should have just sat down, why be such a bother, everyone is on the same bus.
