Maybe in your mind. For most of the world the word is associated with throwing rocks. |

Arabs said no to all offers in 1948, 1967, 1993, and everything beyond. But it’s Israel that’s in the way of the 2 state solution? 1948? Go back to Peel 1937, then 3 more maps pre war, 4 potential maps? Then the 1939 White Paper- which might have been you don't want a country for the first time in 700 plus years? Then it's one state? then Anglo American 1945 then onto the UN plans. |

Yes, that's what makes discussion of life-and-death matters far more credible. A little conspiracy theory-happy language was clearly missing. So glad you corrected this oversight! |

| I listened to part of a few of the speeches and they are all not American citizens. What percentage of the protesters do you think are not US citizens? I am curious. |

It might "feel " like that because you are angry, but try ...just try to listen: Everyone agrees that Hamas should not have killed anyone or taken hostages when they went through the fence. I personally think they just should have let the 2.5 million Palestinians walk through the fence and back to the places where their villages used to be and started chanting , " we're here , we're Palestinians, " get used to it " - kind of like the Marches in 2019 that they performed on the other side of the barbed wire in their prison. Denying that these people were truly forced off their land and teaching these lies to every Israeli child since 1948 will never iradicate the identity of a people as Palestinian or their wanting the dignity of life on the land of their parents, grandparents and ancestors. Denying their truth is just another form of violence. They will never surrender to that . What people would ? What people are protesting is the slaughter- this isn't a military combat of hand to hand fighting- its aerial bombardment of a civilian population and a starvation seige . The reason seems to be , again, the USA has armed one side- GIVEN them Billions of $$$ in bombs, which they are using to end a people- not an army- a people. nearly 7,000 bombs dropped in N Gaza ( which is same size as DC ) in 1 month - that is more than on the entire country of Afghanistan in 1 year ( much larger space) . And our so called " leader" is so craven to AIPAC that he actually denies the number of children and women killed- disgraceful and completely vacuous - and , it seems, the true reflection of his character. What the world SHOULD BE doing - instead of arming one side- set conditions where BOTH Israelis and Arabs had to live together inside Israel ( like they do pretty well in Haifa ) the USA has for decades armed Israel so that they could always counter attack the Palestinians with ferocious lethality to the point that Israel didn't need to live in Peace with the Palestinians- they could subjugate them- while the USA looked away and pretended not to see . The USA is not a viable credible partner any longer and the UN should take over- immediately. The Settlements on the West Bank ( 700,000 people and counting are NOT Israelis - they are Americans, Russians, South Americans and - in the Negev- it seems also about 20,000 imported Thai endentured servants- yes, farming land that was stolen from Palestinians - because apparently, no Jewish settlers or , not that many , actually wanted to farm that land that they took from the Palestinians- let that sink in. The American Hedge funds that fund the Illegal settlements should all have their funds seized and be sanctioned for violations of International Law - and their money should go to facilitate the return of the Palestinians kicked off the West Bank these last 4 weeks. |

Interesting. I watched most of the rally and heard absolutely no cries for intifada.Respectfully, do you have any proof? |

Yawn. We are all tired and bored of your Genocide excuses and your wishes for the extermination of the Palestinians. The protest was amazing today and there are a lot of people who are crying that Palestine has won the hearts and minds of the whole world. Take an L, losers. |

I was there and heard nothing about an intifada. It’s just people trying to delegitimize the free Palestine movement (and they are losing in a major way). Of course with crowds that large a few bad actors in bad faith are going to slip in but the signs and chants were all calling for a ceasefire and an end to the occupation. Anyone painting it otherwise has bad intentions and an agenda. |

Not sure, but the protest is almost certainly funded by foreign governments. I have a lot of respect for free speech but a lot of people there today are “useful idiots” to be sure |

It was about at 2:30pm by one of the organizer women. I swear on the life of my children it was said. |

| I'm sorry but stop bs-ing constantly. The crowd was American and massive. |

I’m sorry but ONE person does not represent hundreds of thousands. Do better. |
