Stop the Lunatic Protests
America is plagued with some truly disturbed people who think they have the right to screw fellow citizens by tying up the nation’s traffic — to defend Middle East butchers and lob antisemitic smears against Israel. Worse? The political leaders who let them get away with it.
On Monday, barely a day after the terrorist state of Iran launched a dangerously escalatory attack on Israel, goons wreaked havoc at the Brooklyn Bridge in Lower Manhattan, California’s Golden Gate Bridge, Chicago’s O’Hare Airport and elsewhere.
How many people missed a flight, couldn’t get a doctor’s appointment or were delayed to some other critical event because of their selfishness?
The protesters’ supposed goal: to pressure Team Biden to end support for Israel. The idea, of course, that imposing misery on fellow Americans can accomplish that is as bat-crazy as their support for the terrorists.
Make no mistake: Many of these rabblerousers were openly backing Iran and its terrorist pawns, Hezbollah and Hamas.
They shouted, “We love Hezbollah,” and waved the group’s banner. The same Hezbollah, that is, that launches rockets into civilian neighborhoods in northern Israel.
They wore bandanas supporting Hamas, which raped, butchered and kidnapped innocent civilians in Israel.
“Hands off Iran,” they reportedly warned. The same Iran that murders women for wearing hijabs incorrectly, represses dissent and promotes war throughout the Mideast.
(The biggest head-scratcher: supposedly “anti-war” protesters who praised Iran’s attack on Israel, even though it could trigger a massive region-wide . . . war.)
They burned the American flag. Try burning Iran’s flag in Iran.
Sure, every country has its sickos, yet America’s leaders simply tolerate the pain these lunatics inflict on others with their antics. Recall they’ve been pulling stunts like this ever since Oct. 7. And, no, this blocking roadways is not permissible free speech.
True, some do get arrested. But many are instantly released and suffer virtually no consequences. The slaps-on-the-wrist ensure more intense pain down the road.
Until America’s leaders crack down for real, once and for all — imposing hefty fines and prison sentences — sane Americans will continue to suffer.
