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.

presuming you live in the imperial core, like me, where working people are so hesitant to sacrifice anything for an internationalist working class struggle, supporting Palestine is arguably one of the most revolutionary actions you can personally take

I've had a lot of good convos at my workplace agitating people pressing them to join their union in response to the bosses silence on the conflict

dont forget to take time for yourself though, so many people are burning themselves out on this shit :/
