After some groups in Breslov threatened to hold mass protests at Ben Gurion Airport if they were not allowed to travel to Uman, citing concerns that many could be arrested for being draft dodgers,
Harav Shalom Arush issued the following statement.
Demonstrations are not the Jewish way, saying: “It is forbidden to demonstrate — that is not our path. We do not act with force, only with prayer.”
Rabbi Arush added that efforts are being made with the Prime Minister and ministers through respectful and peaceful means. “We are trying to work with the government in a good way. Chas Vesholam to protest — we follow the way of the Torah.

לא תחוס עינך נפש בנפש --יד ביד ( ממון ,הניתן מיד ליד )
קנאים once sent a שליח to R. Chaim Shmulevitz Zt"l asking him to sign a declaration supporting a planned הפגנה. R Chaim sent him back & told him that he can't be a שליח because אין שליח לדבר עבירה
When is a הפגנה an עבירה?
The answer is simple. When you are a מזיק to others, especially a רבים, then, regardless of how noble your cause is, it is an עבירה.
Illegally shutting down major highways or the airport, etc., is גזילת הרבים.
The tens of thousands of hours stolen from those who are stuck in traffic are לא ניתן להשבון, cannot ever be repaid. (Difficult to ever do תשובה)
TWO QUESTIONS
1) Are there any ראשי ישיבה, רבנים,פוסקים who publicly support
these riots?
2) Are there any רבנים,פוסקים,ראשי ישיבה who have publicly condemned these riots?
Finally a sane voice.... I think that these protests also cause שנאת חינם
