    I’m so sick of this answer. It’s not always possible for me as an individual to do something about this. People in the US cannot be easily motivated to force gov to do anything. The bulk of the nation has it good enough they won’t riot and force change.

    It doesn’t mean action isn’t being taken or is not desired.

    The point of my comment is trying to show solidarity with the nation / entity that’s being shit on. You don’t have to be a dick because I can’t stop a 300+million person nation to change but want to show support and empathy.

      That just sounds like cowardice and laziness. There are lots of people doing things, and you can’t come up with even the smallest bit of effort.

      Attend a protests. They’re usually on the weekend. Tell other people you went to a protest. It signals that it’s okay to talk about Israel and their crimes against humanity.

      Change doesn’t happen easily, but it snowballs over time. Do something! I’m doing it right now.
