Nobody claimed anything even close to that. Can you please TRY to argue in good faith rather than immediately trot out the strawmen?
Another strawman, as nobody has said anyone should be forced to listen to anything.
Wow. Just wow. You REALLY don't have a fucking clue what extortion OR protest is! 🤦
Protests without disruption accomplish nothing. Which is the ACTUAL reason why people who are against protesting want to minimize disruption.
By keeping them and others from hearing anything but the official version about a genocide that they themselves are contributing to economically by refusing to divest?
To paraphrase Nick Fury: you SAY education, but I think you mean the other thing.
As long as they do so at a time and place where aa few people as possible will see or hear them 🙄
Because they don't get noticed without being disruptive and a protest that nobody notices is as useful as tits on a tractor.
Their right to express grievances is explicitly addressed in the first amendment of the US constitution. Nowhere does it say "unless it's inconvenient to people who claim to be for free speech but are more interested in what Martín Luther King referred to as negative peace and Nazis being treated courteously than the rights of protesters and the lives of Palestinians"
