It's already been made clear that these "innocents" absolutely have the power to end the bloodshed in Gaza. But they don't want to. Fanaticism a powerful thing.

How do women and children have the power to end anything?

Stop providing aid and comfort, and provide the IDF with locations where the fighters are living, sleeping, eating, etc.


The only way the fighters are able to continue is with the aid and support of the "innocents."


This isn't hard to sort out.

It's all theatre.

And just like that, Bragg remains mum on whether or not he will charge them.

If women and children die -- as they do in every war -- that's on Hamas for using them as human shields.

Israel has strongly hinted that if its existence is threatened then they will drop nukes on Mecca and Medina. Take that for what it's worth.

Most people with an ounce of humanity will hold fire if the "supporters" are women and children.

You mean like the Hamas 'freedom fighters' did on Oct 7th?

They are reaping what they have sown.

I am NOT pro Israel or Palestine.

I am for peoples right to protest but this is getting ridiculous.

Where's all the protest for all the issues we are dealing with here in the U.S? Because things are only looking bleek for us. We got major drug issues, major housing issues, major quality of life issues, major issues with crimes, our taxes being used and abused and not going into us! Where's the protest for all the issues we have going on here? How about us!?

But honest, hardworking people don't protest...

They're too busy working!

And this is MEANT to be a distraction from that.

Regardless, this country is becoming a police state. Y'all might applaud this time because you don't like their cause, but they'll use the same heavy handed tactics against you once they can see they can get away with it.

Opinion:

Who has the greatest political influence ?
