Anti-Israel Activists Are Holding Innocent People Hostage

(New York Post) Adam B. Coleman - During Monday morning rush hour, anti-Israel activists decided to disregard the livelihoods and concerns of New Yorkers and commuters by simultaneously blocking traffic at tunnels and bridges. There are fewer individuals more scummy than those who believe they must disrupt the lives of others, even placing people in harm's way, to achieve their desired political outcome. They rationalize their behavior by claiming it's for a good cause, but causes that are worth advocating for don't require holding innocent people hostage: This is a conscious choice made by narcissistic terrorists. Worse, the decision to take us all hostage only accomplishes feeding our attention-seeking captors' egos because it doesn't come close to remedying the problem. This shouldn't be happening here. But this activist strategy - creating vehicular hostages by blocking traffic - has gained traction throughout the U.S. The demonstrators cannot answer how keeping you from making it to your job on time will save a life in Gaza, because it won't. Yet if you complain about someone robbing you of your freedom of movement, you're somehow the bad guy. Terrorism is defined as the unlawful use of coercion against a civilian population or government to further political, social or ideological objectives - and what is happening across America fits this definition. America's policy is that we do not negotiate with terrorists, and we shouldn't start now.
