[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]the people who have true power to stop the war.[/b] 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]

0-decibel reminder that Hamas has the power to stop this war.[/quote]
