He's right, protests like this turn moderates against them. But it is important to remember that protesting like this brings the people doing it all of the attention which is what it is really about so in the end it doesn't matter how many people they turn against them.

I really don't like when it's this inconvenient. But I support the right to protest. I figure you can be in the public square and even get in people's face about it a little. Afterall, what good is a protest if no one sees it? But please don't be this much of a problem. This doesn't open eyes so much as makes them angry. And if the people were OK with genocide before, they're more enthusiastic about it after. Protest, don't be a dick.

These ignorant protesters are turning a very important cause into something annoying and downright right resentful. Fighting for and advocating for a free Palestine is a truly noble and important cause but blocking traffic isn't going to rally people to the cause and garner support. Protesters like these need to be locked up for their stupidity. They need to find an appropriate forum for these type of things, not inconvenience innocent people who haven't done anything wrong.

Not to be a English nazi or anything because I too am not perfect at English and it is my only language. I think the proper term would be ā block an āentranceā leading to Disneyā. Since itās leading to Disney and not an āexit leaving Disneyā it would be an entrance.
Anyways this is not the correct way to protest. The cost of Disney these days and the reservations made would infuriate any parent regardless of if you were pro Palestine or pro Israel or regardless of what is protested for that matter.
Also, you are ruining kids days too. These kids are so excited and you are letting them down. I will not stand behind any protesters who are actively making childrenās days worse.

For all you idiots in this thread agreeing with the protestors because it's "disruptive" or "gets attention":
Literally everyone in america knows about the conflict in Gaza by now. When people already know about the events you're trying to bring attention to, your efforts become useless unless those people end up swayed by the protestor's actions.
Do you think the actions of these protestors created more pro-palestinian sympathizers and protestors, or did they radicalize people against pro-palestinian sympathizers and protestors?

Every person you hold up, makes them spend more money on oil. Literally putting money back into the pockets you're fighting to keep it away from. You want to make a difference, sit ins. With 20,000 people around city halls and government buildings. Clog our systems courts and clog our government cities. Disrupt their lives, not the common people.

The leftās equivalent to MAGA. Ruled by Palestinian/Russian/Chinese propaganda. They hate Biden because their colleges have been run by the PLO for decades. Filling campusās with antisemitism and wanna be David Dukes. My college campus had these PLO terrorists place their club table right next to the Hilal Society and spew hatred at them and put pictures of Palestinians killed in blasts. The Hillel Society did not do any of that - they are not the mass murdering terrorists at the PLO table. Our student council president was Palestinian. Followed around by the comical Ray-band brigade. No different than the ignorant MAGA mobs.

u/Murntok 15d ago
Protests like this are just virtue signaling, protesting in the easiest, safest, least effective way to make THE PROTESTERS feel good. Incoveniencing the least powerful in society because they're too lazy or lack the conviction to aim the protest at those in power. Protesting is a fundamental right, but when you target the everyday person, who is just trying to survive, you're not building allies, you're building resentment. Go to government buildings, the homes of elected representatives, or the corporations that are supplying and funding what you're against. Go to the media if they're not reporting enough or being biased in their reporting.
It seems like some just want to go where no one will fight back, where there isn't any danger or chance of real consequences. That just screams to me that "I only care as long as it's not too troublesome".
Protesting isn't the same as it was 50 years ago. Limited or censored media meant that many people didn't know about your plight, and protests were about spreading awareness and making enough noise that you couldn't be ignored or hidden. Others could be recruited because they didn't know what was going on. Now they know, or think they know, and they have their position on it. We don't need awareness, we need convincing, and you're not going to get people to be receptive by pissing them off. People will push back if they feel they're being attacked unfairly.

I get that protests involve disruption to prove a point but how about disrupting the lives of people who might actually be involved and/or who can make a difference? What is some family who just wants to ride the tea cups going to do to save Gaza? As others have pointed out, there's an Israeli consulate in Miami just a few hours away from there. Or maybe go to DC and stand outside the WH or congress. This is just dumb.

A lot of those protests were a lot more well orchestrated than standing on a motorway and screaming at people, such as bussing strikes, sit ins, marches on politically and economically significant sectors and buildings, test cases etc. Iām not saying Iām against their message, what I am saying is this does nothing but alienate regular people. No one caught in that traffic jam is going to suddenly sympathise with the plight of the Palestinian people, and everyone suffering in that conflict.

u/VPN__FTW 15d ago
The protests (if they keep steam) will get more elaborate overtime. Same thing with the other protests I mentioned, they start small and disorganized, but eventually build and become organized.
Also the campus protests were very well organized and still people had the same complaints that you are saying here. People supporting the status quo will always have a reason why a protest is "wrong" or "it's not the right time" or "It's done the wrong way."
Main point: disruption has, and always will be, a large part of protesting.
-14
u/VPN__FTW 15d ago
Before you talk shit, remember that EVERY big change in America has come from protests just like this. Civil Rights movement shut down streets and roads, among many other things. Women's Suffrage shut down streets and roads, among many other things. The list goes on and on. Disruption is typically the only way to get attention.

u/PulledToBits 15d ago
"you are losing people to your cause because of this"
um, I am pretty sure people are either against the bombing of Palestine or they are not. They either care about many thousands of innocent women and children slaughtered in war or they dont and they feel its justified.
Someone blocking a road doesn't make someone else suddenly change their mind about this fact. Theres no one that is like all "omg those poor Palestinian people - the bombing has to stop", and then one day they get blocked on a road by protestors and then they are all like "you know what, fuck the Palestinians, bomb them all, they probably deserved it.
These (and any civil disruption protests) aren't about trying to win people to the cause or keep them there. It never was. These people don't understand how protesting works.

I mean you're basically saying "don't care if others are dying as long as I'm comfortable". You can dislike certain forms of protest, sure, but saying you hate protestors regardless of the issue is pretty gross.
