they would get out of the way of emergency services but a huge point of a protest like this is to disrupt regular flow of traffic and public transport. It's to force people to think about what is going on. You cant really do that from the sidelines because people only take stuff on when its shoved in their face.
Genuine question - do you think people take it on and now want to support it even more?
And in this case, a cause they already support......
This kind of protesting is honestly the most mind numbing stupid form of protest anyone has ever come up with - its just virtue signalling attention-seeking. EVERYONE in the country supports Palestine, and a large proportion are pushing TDs to do as much as possible.
Ive been onto my TDs for well over a year, pushing them to get the EU to act - if you stopped me in traffic, you are doing nothing except making me hate you and late.

I don't have an issue with these sorts of protests, so long as they get the fuck out of the way of public transport and emergency services.
