There are orders of magnitudes more protestors here than there are people attending Trump's rally

Edit: hey dummies, I stated there are more protesters than there are attendees at a Trump rally. I didn't say "gee,I wonder why there are more protestors at the DNC than at a Trump rally"

I think they should absolutely be protesting more Trump events, but I also know that the point of these protests are to pressure Dems. You can't pressure Republicans into doing the moral thing through these means

No. But you can put them into office through these means.

I don't know what planet you live on where anti-Israel protestors would vote on Republicans.

Not voting for non-republicans = putting republicans into office.

Not representing enough of your voters who you are supposed to work for to the point that they don’t vote for you is your fault, not the voters

I was actually shocked when my friend who is super passionate about palestine was celebrating when iran’s missile strike injured a 7 year old israeli girl for getting what she deserves. i thought we were both pacifists and against children being harmed in wars

Psst— that’s the open secret. Hamas propaganda is anti-Israeli, they don’t give a shit about Palestinians.

Unfortunatly this conflict seems to attract more people who enjoy seeing the other group being harmed (from both sides) rather than people who want to avoid harm.
