Let’s be thankful we don’t live in the US, where protesting for human rights leads to being [threatened](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/14/israel-betar-deportation-list-trump), [fired](https://theintercept.com/2024/09/26/tenured-professor-fired-palestine-israel-zionism/) or [deported](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/19/mahmoud-khalil-statement).
Or Israel, where it leads to being [shot by snipers](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/10/video-appears-show-cheers-israeli-sniper-shoots-palestinian).

Lots and lots of deleted comments here, so there is. The Hasboyos Hasbeen up early, I see

Always nice to see the lads in the barracks in Tel Aviv getting in their overtime.
Stopping traffic in busy cities, and making stressed people just trying to get to where they’re going on time late, is the most proven and effective way to get people to support your cause.
Anyone complaining about this get a fucking grip, some things in life are bigger than you getting to work on time.
Whats the point of causing traffic for normal people? Wouldnt it be better to just hold a regular protest rather than just pissing off commuters?
To all the people complaining about this, saying we have enough problems of our own:
Sure we have our own problems, but I don’t think you can compare the housing crisis, etc. to getting bombed in your sleep by genocidal maniacs. Since most of “the west” has sided with the genocidal maniacs, it’s important that we let our government know that something should be done about this. It’s unbelievable to me that we still aren’t sanctioning these monsters.
What a way to annoy people, assholes. We already have wide support for Palestine here.
The lads absolutely scrambling to get the same narrative out is fucking hilarious.
“NO NO NO. Lets make it about traffic disruption. The Irish hate traffic…..”
“NOOO FFS. Lets make it about gays instead, Im sick of this tactic Levi”
“We waited to long and now have to delete our comments… great mission lads, when will the yanks let us bomb them, Im sick of these paddy cunts”
Oh ya that will definitely make people support their cause….
Worked very well for Just Stop Oil in the UK……
G**bs****s
> Luas services were suspended between Dominick and St Stephen’s Green during the busy commuting hours. Dublin Bus services were also affected.
Look, I’m all for peaceful protests and whatnot, but **do not** fuck with the public transport. That’s a surefire way to get the people against you.
The point of a protest is to disrupt. Gathering in a corner out of sight and out of mind doesnt gain people’s attention. It especially won’t make a government do anything. Disrupting trade, business etc will
Protest has a place and can be effective but to block O’Connell Bridge makes no point to me. We are being shunned by Isreal already for our position what more can we do. All this does is disrupt ordinary people going about their day.
If they wanted a meaningful.protest they should have done the sit down outside the US embassy.
