I don't think any protest had the stated goal of "immediately stopping the genocide" because that is obviously outside of their power

Give me a break, plenty of them did think that, not every protest was organized by steely-eyed Leninists with a realist perspective on politics, dare I say quite a few were extremely liberal in their messaging and outlook

do you not understand that the genocide being broadcast all over the world, though it has other causes contributing, was indeed something protestors have consciously undertook doing to the point that Zionists actively complain about those people disseminating pictures and videos for the purpose of showing the horror Israel is inflicting?

Social media was the primary, secondary, hell even tertiary vector of dissemination for the images and videos that radicalized millions around the world, not the protests, I don't get how this is even remotely a controversial point, I summit the protests may in some or many cases imparted confidence to people to express their radicalized views, but they didn't create them wholesale

Do you not think that people were recruited and educated on this subject at protests sites around the world?

I'm not gonna just take that on faith, Americans and westerners in general are notorious protest tourists, I need to see data proving protests led to an uptick of recruitment and education, and I mean the protests themselves, not the reaction to the genocide broadly

Do you not think that the absurd response to Columbia's protestors, Mahmoud Khalil's case, and so on did not open anyone's eyes to how ridiculous the zionist orthodoxy is?

No, seemed to me most Americans backed or tacitly supported the police brutality against Columbia protesters, the Mahmoud Khalil case was different, but I wouldn't place it under the banner of protests

Do you think there is no connection between all of this and the relative success of charities collecting donations with the help of these same protest groups?

No, I believe the relative success of the charities was by far a result of social media engagement

You said their "half-support for Palestine didn't do jack shit" and you're just wrong.

Then I'll amend my statement to be more accurate; aside from donations and charities, the half-support for Palestine didn't do jack shit, the world including all of the west failed Palestine, that's undisputable
