Saying "free palestine" constantly does nothing

@SixSkyDiver 16 днів тому

Yes, it does. It is called protest, which historically, if you look, works.

Sorry they cant be freed by military action, only 3 of em were saved by the IDF, another 3 were shot by the IDF, more probably died in the tunnels since some israelis blocked the aid from entering, preventing food from not only being given to the civilians, but potentially the hostages as well. Their military operations literally only have a 50% survival rate.

If you're annoyed about the blocked roads, complain to your government about the ongoing war in Gaza instead of complaining about the protesters. That will solve your problem.
