Speaking out is the best. Many people has been blinded by media showing Israel as: 1) legitimate state, 2) only democracy in the middle east, 3) great allies of the west, 4) only option for jew to live safely, 5) great tech and security, 6) only trying to portect itself.
Newer generation who can open wikipedia and read about it, see genocide unfolding in social media are able to learn the truth. So speaking out and educating people about past and current massacres is the best a powerleas person can do.
For example, massacres commited by Irgun and Haganah usually don't show up when you look for massacres committed by Israel eventhough both dissolved into current IDF and the current ruling party.
These people didn't attack only the Palestinians but also the British officials as well.

Damn good comment
I've been trying. Unfortunately 20 years for no real gain gets demoralising. I've seen what Mossad can do first and 2nd hand. Small and peaceful groups infiltrated and disrupted. I've seen the footage of an aid ship being fired upon for no reason (the whole crew was on the top deck, with hands visible, as requested).
Given what I've seen, I fully understand what Hamas did (I don't agree, but understand, and can't think of a better option they should have taken).
At this point, I'm tired and jaded. If someone has a viable way to push forward a fix, I'd be up and helping, unfortunately I'm tired of spitting into the wind for no gain.
