Are there pro Palestine protests in the US? (aussie.zone)

I hear about them in basically every corner of the anglo-sphere except the US. The ones in the UK are in the news all the time and here in Melbourne I have a crowd of 100's march past my apartment every other month. Anybody in the US have experience with them? I assume they have a relatively small Palestinian population due to their overt Israeli support, is that true?

Imma guessing most US Americans are doing the protest from the comfort of their own couch.

Sure but that's what most Australians, Canadians and British people are doing too. I'm asking if any are getting off of the couch

Look, if in Aussie land some bloke joins a protest, worse that can happen is that some Sheila throws a wombat or a bottle of Fosters at his head. In the USA, chances are a MAGA dumbwit (= overzealous Israel fan, per Trump’s orders) will get his sniper rifle and pick demonstrators off like empty Pabst Blue-ribbon beer cans on this here old fence.

You fart with your mouth? or do you the talking and shitting with the same end or what?

Well, as a human being I can’t say this applies to me. Sure, some animals (like the jellyfish, sea anemones, and coral) defecate and consume food through the same orifice mainly because they lack a through-gut. instead they have a single-opening gastrovascular cavity. Some comb jellies also fall into this category, of ewhich one species, the warty comb jelly, seems to develop a temporary anus for excretion. I have no information about farting.

That's a crash out if I've ever seen one
