Is there a point to Pro-Palestinian Activism anymore? (hexbear.net)

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.

There was never anything activists could do to make a difference that was legal or only punishable with mild consequences.

US foreign policy is completely divorced from popular will or demand.
