Conservatives and Zionists and the powers that be have been cracking down on the Pro-Palestinian encampment protests. We discuss a few ways in which the law is perverted for this purpose, in particular the use of anti-mask laws, many of which were enacted decades ago.

Summary

1. Protests and direct actions spread awareness of an issue but may not lead to political change.
2. Leftist protests tend to be met with brutal crackdowns by authorities.
3. Right-wing protests are often allowed to get away with more before facing consequences.
4. Protests may not be the most effective way to achieve policy change from a government.
5. Encampment protests for Palestinian rights may not accomplish much in terms of policy change.
6. Authorities may blame violence on protesters and use it as an excuse to crack down even harder.
7. Occupy Wall Street and protests against the NWO and World Bank also faced crackdowns without achieving their goals.
8. Cultural change and individual action can also be effective in achieving change.
