If Israel is so important to the western empire, it means.it is also a weakness. I would encourage everyone here to join BDS groups near you. If civil disobedience is new to you, it is a bit scary. Trust me, this is the first time I have engaged in it. But with good planning, recruitment, and a solid plan to win including escalation, it is possible to win the fight.
Plus it's good praxis, and an opportunity to learn how to organize
But also dont forget to explicitly support Hamas and the armed resistance. This is the actual material force fighting the war and conducting israel to its end
There's not much we can do in the West to "support Hamas" other than resolutely refuse to condemn them, and to stress that armed resistance to genocide and colonial occupation is legal and legitimate and morally correct.
That is all well and good and we should continue to push back in the information space against the lie that resistance is "terrorist", but sadly that doesn't have much immediate practical impact.
Whereas BDS, work stoppages and protests (against arms deliveries, for ceasefire, for recognition of Palestine, for holding Zionist war criminals accountable, etc.) are things that we can actually do that will have a direct impact.
