Lefties in Tel Aviv keep staging pathetic anti-war protests and anti-war events and keep having to run away as Hamas opens fire.

And if that doesn’t happen, the locals beat them up, and then Haaretz, The Guardian and 972 Mag (their usual outlets) write whiny stories about Israeli intolerance.

This time, the highest profile anti-war rally collapsed when the sirens began.
