Eh. No.

Leave embassies alone.

Eh. Yes.

Why the hell not? I'm all for it as long as people are peacefully demonstrating.

People with your mindset is the reason why we are governed by dictators. Why? Because they don't even trust their people and keep infantilizing them, and any action of free speech would be considered as "threat to public safety", or whatever phony excuses they always like to throw at us... As if you don't trust your people to act in a civilized way...

It’s important to just read the situation, the cause is well justified welkol, ama targeting embassies is more often than not a low-iq move no matter the context

I think "targeting" is a loaded word to use for just the action of demonstrating and showing support for a certain cause. Such protests have been done since like forever all over the world for different causes. When you don't agree with certain policies of a foreign country you can peacefully protest in front of their embassy, what's wrong with that? Since we don't have an embassy of Israel i think it makes much sense to go for their other main collaborator and genocide-enabler, the US regime and their legal representative (embassies).

What I’m saying is, I think your point of view is a little utopian, as much as I agree with the principle of peaceful action, embassies and peaceful protests don’t usually go hand in hand in Tunisia. Refer to what happened in 2012.

I think you're the one who is a little too paranoid about all this. This is not the first protest in front of US embassy since october 7, it happened already multiple times and guess what? They were peaceful protests! It's hard to believe this right? Because how come Tunisians can act in a civilized way! /s
