A pro-Palestinian protest action briefly blocked all traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco Wednesday morning.

Starting at about 7:45 a.m. Protesters stopped cars and stretched banners across the roadway denouncing Israel’s bombing of Rafah in the Gaza Strip and demanding that the U.S. stop arming Israel.

Northbound and southbound traffic on the bridge was at a standstill as of 8 a.m.

    If 70% of Palestine people passively and actively support Hamas, are the protesters Pro-Hamas?

    Edit: downvoters are just in denial. I mean, really, ask yourself this question. And it’s a hypothetical question nontheless so… no shame

    • Protesting for the right of Palestine to exist and not have thousands of their children bombed to death can hardly equate to support for Hamas.

      Palestinian support for Hamas rises as Israel bombs them, their houses and their families. This suggests that supporting Hamas is an act of desperation for the Palestinians, as to them Hamas are simply the only group that actually do something against what they perceive as the Israeli oppressors.

      Regardless, the vast majority of protestors would like to see a two-state solution that brings lasting peace to the region, with Hamas as well as Israeli warhawks removed from power. That doesn’t really equate to support for Hamas at all.

        So the kilometers of tunnels under civilian houses and institutions were not built for decades with at least consent from the people living there?

        The two state solution was rejected, several times, in the past from Palestine.

          So do i understand you right, that you advocate for the genocide of the Palestinians, as is currently carried out by Israel?

          If not, then why the fuck would you have a problem with people protesting for children, women and unarmed men not to be bombed and given access to food, water, shelter and healthcare?

            No need to frame anyone. It’s just a question and if there would be so many supporters if they wouldn’t count at least as collaborateurs.

              So yes, you’re pro-genocide.

              Anyone thinking that protesting genocide means you’re collaborating with a terrorist group has the analytical capability of a moldy banana.

              No need to frame anyone. It’s just a question

              JAQing off is a bullshit defense, otherwise I could just ask questions about where you were when someone was murdered. After all, I’m not saying you murdered anyone, I’m just asking questions about the murder and your possible involvement.

              You were the one framing Palestinians as Hamas supporters, you got called a genocide supporter now and you’re backtracking.

                Oh boy. I’m out. Sorry to have y’all disturbed in your echo chamber opinions.

                Have fun with the downvotes.

            • Again, the question is why you have a problem with protesting for children and women not getting killed?

              Do oyu understaand the concept, that children cannot be criminals, and most certainly never “deserve” to be killed?
