I don't really know what to do for Palestine anymore (lemmygrad.ml)

Israel is starving Gaza as we speak. They are explicitly stating no Palestinian will make it out alive.

I protest. I get out on the street. I boycott. But it doesn't improve these situation in the slightest. The rest of the world is looking and doing nothing. And I feel like losing hope a bit. Like, what can I do more? I don't know anymore.

So look, here’s what I would say to you: it’s true what I said, that all the speaking that I’ve done, or other people have done internationally, all the advocacy that you may have done, all the letter writing and petitions that you may have signed… have not saved a single finger of a single Gazan child. Some might say that we have failed. Don’t believe that for one second! You have not failed! The very fact that in the face of all the propaganda and all the withholding of truth, so many people’s hearts are broken, that’s a sign, that’s a tribute to humanity. And if your heart is broken, that’s a tribute to you. Even if you feel broken-hearted, and helpless, and hopeless, and in despair, don’t let that get to you. Because you have a larger goal here, which is to contribute to the light and the truth in the world as best you see it. And that is a long-term… struggle. It’s a long-term calling. And all of us can contribute to it.
