No Stupid Questions

Vote with your wallet. Money is the only thing that matters to the people in charge here

join your local protests today :)

if protests didn't work they wouldn't try so hard to fight it/buty it

they say violence is never the answer but historically, well, history disagrees.

Unless you're a billionaire or willing to go full Player 2, there's nothing you can do on a macro scale.

You can, in your little slice of the world, do good things. When ICE asks you if you've seen someone, you tell them you haven't. If you're walking past a business getting raided and see a brown person, you tell them to turn around and get away. If you run a school and ICE shows up, you stand up for the kids they're trying to kidnap. If you see ICE kidnapping someone, at minimum, film and post it. If there's a group of people willing to physically intervene, join them.

That's it.

Voting doesn't solve this because all Democrats have to offer is strongly-worded letters, and Donald uses those letters to wipe Elon Musk's ass. Their choice was aiding and abetting fascism or getting richer, and they chose the money.

The Spanish went on general strike to stop their country's complicity in genocide, but failing that you can start with these guys. You can just write BDS on Wikipedia if you want to know what they're about, but this site has plenty of concrete, actionable steps you can take to reduce your, your community's, your workplace's and—with enough people on board—your country's complicity in genocide. I'd suggest looking into apartheid-free zones as a start. I also want to note that the best thing you can do for Palestinians is to spread the word and get more people on the side of humanity.

Also, if you're not already doing so, organize in your community and workplace, and use your collective leverage to push for causes you care about. Be an active participant in the fight against fascism and for democracy, equity and solidarity. These values, I should add, are already mutually exclusive with Zionism, so you'd be hitting two birds with one stone.

Edit: In case anyone wants assurance that this works (or just wants to enjoy some economic schadenfreude), enjoy.

Become Luigi.

Buy a gun, and start learning to use it. Now is not the time, but be prepared should it.

Stop supporting the right wing duopoly that enabled it

On an individual level one should also start getting fit and learning basic defensr/boxing.

E: To be clear I am not saying we should start fights, but fitness is overall useful and healthy. Being able to defend oneself is important to confidently defuse a situation too.

Speak up, tell people what you think and why.

If that doesn't work: something was added to your constitution for this situation, the second amendment. You can use your six shooter to go up to the government's tank and gunships. Good luck.

Talk with people! Discuss it with your friends! Be aware that they might have a very different outlook on this, so be patient with people. Here is a list of things to do when discussing this with people supporting Israel:

• Don't berate them. These are your friends, not murderers. Direct your anger towards the actual murderers.
• Ask them if they believe Israel is mounting a heavy disinformation/propaganda campaign towards the west. If they do not believe this, it is relatively easy to prove, see example below.
• Show them the Twitter accs of Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. These guys are quite outspoken in their intentions.
• Show them examples of heroic acts of Palestinas, rather than just Palestinians suffering. This will help them respect Arabs, as that seems to be difficult for many Americans due to two and a half decades of Indoctrination that all arabs all terrorists.
• Also the obvious things (tens of thousands of children killed, not letting food enter, cutting off water, etc)

Example of Israeli disinformation: They created a fake hamas website (hamas dotttt com) whereas the real website was taken down from all of internet (hamas dottt ps). The fake one was heavily promoted by Israel's official twitter acc and several Israeli government officials on twitter and recieved heavy traffic during Oct 2023-end of 2024. Use the wayback machine or similar for this, I believe both sites are down now.

There has also been many, many other lies by the Israeli government. Find proved examples and show.

General strikes

Tax strikes

____ing politicians who support the genocide

When the government is powerful enough to cause genocides, that's a problem. It's far easier to just not give your money to a business that engages in such practices.

Not giving money to your government, however, is considered tax evasion.
