This is counterproductive. Acting like an idiot in public and disrupting peoples’ work doesn’t gain sympathy. (At best it gains awareness. But that isn’t the problem Palestinians face.)

Your comment is a typical one that protests should be less disruptive, but only disruptive protests have historically been effective.
