      Ok but that’s in the place that the thing is happening and by the people affected.

      Blocking a street in LA because two soverign nations on the other side of the world are at war with eachother doesn’t really make a lot of sense. America can’t just declare a ceasefire and enforce is, ok well I guess we could but the people asking for that are also the ones who think whine about “American Imperialism” so, pick a lane.

      Also Hamas is, by their very charter, against ceasefires and Israel has tried it and then Hamas just starts shooting anyway.
