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?

Blocking a highway is non-violent direct action that causes immediate economic impact and makes headlines. I can’t think of many better ways to protest. You’re talking like they took an elementary school class hostage.
They’re also preventing working class people from getting to work, which could result in them losing their jobs, violating terms of parole, etc. Highways move a lot more than goods in trucks…
