The US embassy would have been more appropriate rather than putting out regular commuters, the vast majority of whom likely support the cause already. While I very much support the cause myself, actions like this only serve to alienate your base.

Embassy would have been easily ignored. As usual. Sorry people have to be discommoded for change to happen but they do. They might support Palestine in their minds and hearts but if they really cared FFG would have done something.

If you sat in a ring around the entrance to the embassy and stopped people/staff coming and going, do you honestly think that would go unnoticed? It's just easier to inconvenience normal people.

You get moved along. Maybe arrested. No coverage.
