Can someone please calmly explain how blocking a freeway across an ocean and a country on a different continent, is supposed to have any effect on a political issue in the middle east?

I fail to see how MLKs words about white moderates pacifity can be applied to any method of acheiving a goal, its clearly about using direct action from the bottom up to achieve goals outside of the completely pacified and useless manner white 'haves' protest in historically, and the disdain they have for people actually trying to work outside of the 'red vs blue' dichatomy that does nothing for them.
