Could Pro-Palestinian protestors protest in a more effective way

I fully support the right to protest and free speech but I read this article just now and made me wonder if the message could be put across in a more effective way rather than violence making the headlines.

How could the protestors garner more sympathy to their cause as clearly we need a change in operations in Gaza to bring about the end of Hamas whilst protecting civilian life? These sort of headlines and a minority of anti-Semitic attendees on marches are shrouding the message.

Pro-Palestinian activist bites police officer as four arrested

Six police officers were injured during a pro-Palestinian protest outside the Thales defence firm on Linthhouse Road, Govan, Glasgow yesterday morning. Four people were arrested, police said.

Why are they not marching is UAE, Saudia Arabia, Libya, Iran,, Egypt etc and do so like they are in England??

Do they march in Russia and China like they do in England and if not why not??

It’s a good question, but perhaps your view of the marches depends on what newspaper you read. It’s hard to believe that DM would ever report positively on them. Even if everyone there smelled of roses, I think they would come up with something.

Would you like to make any suggestions of how that could be done? Perhaps you could share how you are choosing to use your voice to speak out?

I have no sympathy with the protestors as its costing us the taxpayers million and stopping people from enjoying their time with their families where the protests happen on the weekends

Police are injured and thousands of police officers who should be keeping us safe are not able to because of these ongoing protests

IMO - The protests and mass protests should happen in UAE, Sadia Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Libya etc etc as they should be doing more to supply aid and had a safe area in Egypt next to the border of Gaza on the basis once Hams is eradicated and hostages released and Israeli pm sacked, the ordinary, suffering people of gaza can go home in peace and be assured the billions given to them this time by the west and Sadia Arbia etc is used to make Gaza great and not be wanted on making tunnels and lining the pockets of the Hamas friends and family's, some of who are enjoying 7 star hotels
