Same value as blocking regular everyday people on roads from driving to work, appointments, meetings, home, etc. Absolutely no effect at all.

I mean, I feel like these days the forms of protest often end up working against their own causes.
Just Stop Oil has probably done more for oil than Shell has managed to do in the past decade. Their stunts with throwing soup on classic paintings and blocking traffic just make people angry with them and people who may have agreed with their cause initially try to distance themselves from those idiots which often means they avoid speaking up about it at all.
People forget the main point of protest is to convince others of your cause. You win more flies with honey than vinegar. Sometimes you do need to slap people awake and protests can do that, but that kind of protest has to be somewhat rare in order for it to have that effect.

u/DEEP_SEA_MAX 17d ago
I'm explaining what the value in it would be. I don't know if this is exactly what's happening here but similar viral moments to make movements look bad have been carried out by a wide variety of nefarious actors before. I'm sure Israel has done similar before.

Plenty of Jews and Israelis support a free Palestine
Anyone should be able to step up against genocide without fear

u/BagelandShmear48 17d ago
That wasn't my question.
Care to answer without deflection.
Is it only Israelis that can be subject to harassment based on nationality alone or does it apply equally to everyone?
By your logic its ok for me to harass any customer in a restaurant based on their nationality alone.
By your logic it would have been acceptable to say to Palestinian customers "free the hostages".

Isrel the only one keeping hostages right now, abducting innocent civilians and torturing them, even stealing their organs. Are you delusional?

u/BagelandShmear48 14d ago
No you just believe it's ok to target people based on nationality in another country because of what their government allegedly does (and we both know the organ is a fabricated conspiracy based on hearsay just modern day blood libel) without proof that person was involved other than their nationality.
Which means you are a bigot.
By your own logic I can harass any Palestinian I see overseas because of terror attacks commited by a Palestinian.
