Can someone please calmly explain how blocking a freeway across an ocean and a country on a different continent, is supposed to have any effect on a political issue in the middle east?

      It’s all performative. Everybody knows what’s happening there. They didn’t bring attention to the genocide; they brought attention to themselves.

        That’s the point of protests to remind politician that if they dont hear the demands they will lose votes.
