Protesting is a valid way to start moving a political stance, however, the protests that work have clear plans, alternatives, and a realistic outcome focus behind it instead of a "do something/anything".
As long as Hamas is a proxy of Russia and Iran to destabilize the region, Palestinians are as hobbled as Afghani were under the Taliban.
As long as the Ultra-Orthodox hold political sway in Israel, most Israelis (including Atheist, Arab and Christian Israelis) do not have an equal voice in their government.
Palestine is a complex, tragic situation that can really only be solved when the hardliners and foreign influencers leave. But even then, there's been so much disrespect, hatred and
blood shed, I honestly don't know if people involved can "get over it" and respect each other's right to live alongside each other.
