Warning: Cynicism

I am a part of a left org that has been putting efforts into showing support for Palestine. A lot of demos, speaking at city council meetings, pressuring agencies to support a ceasefire, etc.

I'm considering bringing it up to comrades that maybe this has run its course. The IDF has been moving South and is now in Rafah. The only thing the US has done is issue "concerns" that have been ignored; the US has not stopped funding the war. How much destruction is there left that we as American activists are even trying to prevent?

Tell me I'm wrong. I want to be wrong. I just see comrades putting their efforts into this for emotional and not practical reasons at this point.

BDS and that UN ruling are getting some contracts broken but idk if it's enough.

it doesn't seem like people are willing to adventure-time but I don't see how anything short of incredible violence could shake the empire from its path.

individual action is exactly what the zionists want, they're longing for someone to go do terrorism in the US so they can use it

yeah that's the problem with minecraft, it only supports the status quo until you get to the mobilized army level
