We've seen a lot of radical protests for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, including violently storming the DNC and high school kids in NYC going wild and hunting down a pro-Israel teacher who had to hide from them in a locked closet.

There is a ceasefire at the moment as hostages are being released, and it was just extended for another couple of days.  

But protesters at the White House want to make it permanent, so they claim they're doing a "hunger strike" in front of the White House to get it. Sumaya Awad says in her profile that she's part of the NY Democratic Socialists.

In case you recognized anyone in that group, actress Cynthia Nixon is the older blond in the middle. 

Now, the Internet has responded in brilliant fashion. 

First, they noted there had been a ceasefire in effect on October 6.

It was Hamas who broke it by attacking Israel and slaughtering people on Oct. 7. It's also Hamas who continues to say they want to wipe Israel off the face of the planet. So, if these folks want a "permanent ceasefire," it doesn't sound like Hamas even wants to agree to it. They only want ceasefires that will buy them a bit of time and breathing room, like what's going on now.  

A good reminder that apparently everyone—except the people actually running Gaza—is responsible for Gaza. Just baffling mental gymnastics.

Protest Hamas. But we all know why they won’t. https://t.co/ayWhukdDjB

It's not Israel starving the people of Gaza; this is all completely on Hamas. But even now, they're playing games with the hostages to stretch out the ceasefire. Hamas got a ceasefire. But they still want more. 

Then they're also petitioning the wrong people. Biden can't give them a ceasefire; only Israel and Hamas can agree to that. Biden might think he has influence, but ultimately, that's up to Israel. 

Then, too, they got some hilarious encouragement in their endeavors. 

Please proceed. https://t.co/Ruj4Gdd41E

Please don't give up.
Whatever it takes, please keep the hunger strike going for days, weeks, months.... https://t.co/XviD5eXIK5

If there were more people like this then there would be less people like this. https://t.co/yOtOidgvzR

Then came the food suggestions. 

I had a prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich from Tony Dragon, the best food truck around, for lunch. It was in a baguette with arugula, tomato and a phenomenal balsamic glaze. Best part is… he’s now selling his salad dressing in jars. My dinner will be awesome too.

If anyone…

Anyone wanna head down there to feast on some Israeli food in front of them? https://t.co/VH8A0LUxxP

I hope they stick to their strike and demands and not waffle… https://t.co/jXBPMOo2ZT

I'm thinking this isn't going to last long.
