One reason this has more impact than it seems like it should is the flotilla was comprised of citizens of other nations.
It's human nature to care more about you and yours than someone else, even if you do also care about someone else, and this triggers that feeling, where Israelis committing genocide against Palestinians do not.
I just hope something comes of it.
2 years ago demanding Palestinians to have equal rights was considered demanding genocide. I was practically alone in being pro-Palestinian, in my region, before 2022, now hundreds of thousands march for palestine each day.
Can I ask what country your from?
When I went out to Seattle to protest this weekend we were a bit bigger than the last time. It's still a almost depressing number of people for a supposedly "leftist" city. But I look at Italy and the numbers in the global south and try to remember I'm not alone. I'm just far away. The vast majority of the world stands with Palestine. It's just been so disheartening to live in the brain rot of the imperial core. My normie friends tell me "like, no one even hears or talks about this stuff".
I just have to remind myself that I am the sane one in a truly sick society. The numbers of the world are massively on my side. Even if I can't speak their language or give them a hug.
Something has already come from it. That something doesn't have to be the end of Zionism though to make it meaningful.
The totality of all action will be what brings about Zionisms death. From the single protest with 50 people you went to. From the BDS movement. From the blockade from Yemin. From the flotillas. From the small win against Microsoft recently. From all of it, and more, Zionism will end one day.
Do not feel disheartened by not meeting the end goal or even making noticable progress for each individual action. Feel inspired by the acts of defiance to also take action in what ever way you are capable of.
