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.

That's beautiful and inspiring but what can an American activist actually do about it now? Pressure has been put on all the traditional levers. The money never dried up for the IDF and their job is just about done. If you remove the emotions from this, efforts could probably be better spent elsewhere, yeah?
I really don't know, as others said, there was never really anything we could do.
But just wanted to share if it helped or made a difference to you still trying.
You make Zionists in your local area live in fear until they no longer speak
