Pro-Hamas activists took to the streets surrounding New York City’s JFK airport and set up blockades during one of the busiest travel times of the year. They are demanding an end to the war in Gaza, but are also shouting the ugly “From the river to the sea” death to Jews chant. …

States really need to start cracking down on this illegal kind of protest in which these activist block roadways.

[These are entirely narcissistic events, not in any way effective … for debate, anyway. “This interminable road blockage has really caused me to reassess my values and positions,” said no rational person, ever. All it does is stoke resentment for the cause that intrudes *illegally* on lives and schedules. Maybe a few cans of bear spray would allow police to clear these illegal demonstrations off the street, but sooner or later, people won’t wait for police to act. That’s the kind of mid-level provocation response some of these nihilists want to provoke, unfortunately, which is why we have laws against this. — Ed]
