Unfortunately I don't see "not blocking traffic" as a forbidden act. I do see this. Maybe you can clarify:


Quote:
Melachah generally refers to the kind of work that is creative, or that exercises control or dominion over your environment. The word may be related to "melekh" (king; Mem-Lamed-Kaf). The quintessential example of melachah is the work of creating the universe, which G-d ceased from on the seventh day. Note that G-d's work did not require a great physical effort: he spoke, and it was done.
Wouldn't blocking traffic and causing problems with non-Jews be considered "exercising control over your environment" by literally blocking traffic flow? If "writing two letters" is prohibited how is forcefully blocking traffic flow not?

I had a lot more pictures but the point is pretty clear. Stupidity knows no bounds
I'd say it's not "stupidity" at all, suince they know exactly what they're doing. Rather, stubbornness and arrogance.

It's not THAT common, as I have been online since 1992 and never heard it.

TIL the term "TIL".

They're trying to show everyone who the "real Jews" are.

We don't have jews in general.

We hate it when OJs walk in the streets instead of on the sidewalk and block traffic.
