As you know, there were coordinated protests in sympathy with Hamas on Monday, or what organizers called "A15." In a movement titled "Stop the World for Gaza," Hamas sympathizers blocked the entrance to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and also shut down the Golden Gate Bridge in both directions.
There were several other coordinated protests that didn't get as much press attention, like this one in New York.
Manhattan Mingle (@ManhattanMingle) ~ 🚨(Newburgh, NY) H@masnicks have blockaded the Newburgh Beacon Bridge (Hudson Valley/across the I84) during morning rush hour and chanting calls for genocide. This is part of an international effort in disrupting the global economy but should probably also be considered domestic terrorism.

"This is part of an international effort in disrupting the global economy," targeting economic "choke points" — and yet those few who were arrested were bailed out thanks to ActBlue and the George Soros-backed Community Justice Exchange.
Some of the protests were smaller in scale, such as this group "occupying" a Starbucks in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We can never tell if we're supposed to be patronizing Starbucks or boycotting them.

So, you threw on a hijab and a kaffiyeh and annoyed people at a coffee shop.
Sen. John Fetterman, who's been unyielding in his support for Israel, had some choice words for the protesters.
Senator John Fetterman (@SenFettermanPA) ~ I don't know who needs to hear this, but blocking a bridge or berating folks in Starbucks isn't righteous, it just makes you an asshole.
Demand Hamas to send every hostage back home and surrender.
