    There were a lot of Pro-Palestinian protests last November in my city. One of them blocked a small bridge, and this was a conversation I had 3 times that day:

    Some Chud: “This is really dangerous! What if an ambulance needs to get by!”

    Me: “They’re letting emergency vehicles pass, and police are on the scene to make sure nothing unsafe happens.”

    S.C.: “Well, they’re certainly not winning anyone over with tactics like this!”

    Me: “They’re not trying to win you over, their stated goal is to force [X] politician to respond.”

    S.C.: “Well then they should go protest at [X] politicians house!”

    Me: “They protested at [X]'s office last week, but it wasn’t very disruptive, so you didn’t hear about it.”

      There’s been non-stop protests in politician homes in Texas. You don’t hear about them because they’re peaceful.

      So maybe blocking roads is the way.
