Any objections, Democratic patriots ??

'Quantrill' was a Confedederate traitor who traveled east towards Lincoln around the end of the civil war, with the objective of assassinating the Union president... he was killed by Union troops somewhere in Kentucky (if i recall corretly), before he could come close to accomplishing that objective.....

Um, no. That's not the point at all. Any innocent deahts are tragic. But it's insane to blame this all on Israel. LymphocyteLover Oct 2023 #70

This is why I posted Nanjeanne Oct 2023 #17

This is such a touchy subject. I lost a good friend over my opinion of Bibi. Hamlette Oct 2023 #34

I will never be silenced on subjects I have strong feelings about. That would be against my very nature Celerity Oct 2023 #40

I'm the same way. I will never be silenced if speaking up might make a difference. Hamlette Oct 2023 #50

Ok thanks for telling me that. Nanjeanne Oct 2023 #27

Then again, not likely any Israelis posting on this issue in DU. However, a lot of people blaming each other Wonder Why Oct 2023 #30

Simple question: why? brooklynite Oct 2023 #23

Maximum exposure. Tens of thousands of daily commuters see the protest. Aussie105 Oct 2023 #31

And what was the result of tens of thousands of commuters seeing the protest? brooklynite Oct 2023 #33

Maybe they did. Maybe they got press. Maybe they felt stronger and not so alone. I know Nanjeanne Oct 2023 #41

Are you saying they wouldn't have gotten the sam press and togetherness outside the United Nations? brooklynite Oct 2023 #44

Why? Maybe... Nanjeanne Oct 2023 #48
