And I know this not be the best thing to say in this context but you individually also can't do much about what's happening in Palestine. Unless you're in the military, high politics, or some corporate ghoul—you're just a body on the street that'll probably get ignored.
If that frustrates you more, then focus on other things. Build up or get involved at your Union at work, volunteer at an unrelated org like Food Not Bombs, or get involved tutoring or mentoring some kids. Anything you can.
And I'm not trying to dissuade people from getting involved in Palestinian solidarity actions, but if you're prone to take it really hard on yourself if you get involved in them and things just get worse then it may be best to be involved with things you can better control. We don't need comrades self-immolating, in whatever form it takes.
