What are you doing for Palestine? (discuss.online)

I've felt a delayed sense of intense dread following the election of trump and watched as the Palestinian genocide only got worse

My family members care only with words, my friends are more interested in nationalism, our party is both authoritarian, pro-israel and also lying to their citizens about being Anti-Israel, and not a single major nation has done anything towards Israel that can directly affect it

I send my donations and I attend rallies, but to what end? Do they matter? People seemingly rather distance themselves than have actual progress, seemingly attempting to be at the moral high ground no matter what, even if it means ignoring a genocide, it's disgusting

I don't know what to do, am I meant to only provide a shelter to who can survive? What about the rest? I can't help but fucking shiver and its giving me a panic attack

It brings me to a post that starts with

"Folks have asked me how to find and build community.

Here is a very pragmatic and approachable way to find the community in your local town or neighborhood."

That is the link you intended I think.
