Dressed uniformly in black, the protesters with Jewish Voice for Peace gathered on the pedestal shortly before 1 p.m. when they dropped massive banners with calls for a cease-fire and other slogans, such as “The Whole World Is Watching” and “Never Again for Anyone.” The group sang “Cease-fire now” and occupied the national monument for about 20 minutes before dispersing. The protest, which the group said included more than 500 people, continued on a ferry headed back to Manhattan.
Because you can’t close down a National Monument and achieve anything.
Protesting is useless?
If there goal was to make the news. Then they achieved it.
If there goal was to spread a message. Then they achieved it.
I could go on, but I fear you don’t care for facts.
