[quote=Anonymous]Opinions and beliefs about Israel/Gaza aside….. and maybe the noise has stopped by now— ?? I didn’t walk past the area today, but yesterday the sirens were going full-blast… So if they did continue today, here’s my view:

Blaring sirens that can be heard throughout at least a half-mile radius accomplish only the driving of everyone within earshot who’s trying to live, work, or study (and who’s not equipped with industrial-grade headphones) ABSOLUTELY FREAKING BONKERS!!!!!!!!

This astonishingly tone-deaf (no pun intended) performance will not move the dial AT ALL among the people who have true power to stop the war. This is simply becoming an indiscriminate sonic assault on all nearby residents, workers and students (many of whom, after all, do support a Gaza cease-fire!). So….. what the frick is the end game here?!

— posted by the niece of an OG D-Day veteran who lived happily for decades on nearby Yuma Street and passed away in time to be spared this auditory torture — he would have stomped over there to tell the young whippersnappers that protesting is fine, just for the love of god use voices and signs, NOT sirens, please!!![/quote]
