How do we help gaza more effectively?

@just_an_average_joe

BDS is a start. Posting letters and calling your representatives (even those on Israel paycheck) is another.

Encourage others to boycott Israeli, American, British and German products.

Participate in daily/weekly protests.

Show your support by wearing keffiyeh and other solidarity items in public.

The most important is to vote by your wallet, everytime you buy something. That's the only language these people understand.

MONEY.

Hey i wanted to buy a keffiyeh but amazon had so many that looked like it but didn't have the authentic prints i think. Do you happen to have any links to authentic ones? Also i am in the EU and i occasionally take part in local "palestine speaks" protests, will start being more politically active once I have the citizenship stuff figured out.

Another question, do you know any organizations that fight for palestinian rights that are registered in EU? That also accepts donations? Usually here, an organization is registered here, any donation to such non-profit org gets tax benefits which usually mean it will increase the amount people donate.

Don't you want engagement in relevant / important topics like this one?

Was your original comment just made so people will see that there was a comment so this might be a post worth participating in?

If so then do you think them coming into the comments and seeing a comment that has no actual body other than "something important might happen here if people engage but this is not the engagement you seek", would it not be better to make a comment that either positively or negatively makes a point to further the discussion?

Sheesh. You are a piece of work.

@raspberriesareyummy@leoh sorry, I thought you were asking for it.

My mistake

No, I just wanted to generate traffic to bring it higher up in active threads.
