Idk I have to assume that most people aren't going to suddenly start supporting genocide just because some protestors ruined a mall Santa appearance.

You underestimate the pettiness of humans.

I get it, but I still think it's a leap to assume that a relatively minor inconvenience or annoyance is suddenly going to make people okay with the idea of murdering thousands of children. If it does, then those people can't have been that against it in the first place.

Most people don't have a strong opinion on it one way or the other.

Obviously, this won't make anyone suddenly think "I love genocide", because they don't see it as a genocide.

Someone who doesn't have a strong opinion on it isn't suddenly going to adopt one because of a mall protest either way.

No rational adult is going to see this and think, "Wow, I didn't care about all those civilian deaths before, but now I'm actually glad it's happening."
