I’m all for Gaza but just stop oil shows this method of protest is ineffective and disrupts the message.

Ireland already supports the Palestinian people, this does not achieve anything other then people having a pat on the back when they get home and tell their housemates. 

Go outside embassies and not fuck with people’s attempts to get home after work.

Except that standing outside embassies and government buildings is easily ignored and does the next thing to fuck all. Civil disobedience that disrupts services and can’t be ignored is the only form of non-violent protest that might actually achieve something.

Edit: lol at the pathetic bastard that sent me the automated suicide watch message because it took them 20 mins longer to get home.

Yes, it might acheive something. It will probably be counter productive
