Reminder that one of the most impactful, but also simplest, individual actions you can take is to check whether your retirement savings, or any investments, are supporting the genocidal regime.

"It is thus far from cynical to argue that these purported humanitarian interventions are anything other than a stalling tactic designed to allow the US and Israel time needed to achieve their ultimate political aims and objectives – an ethnically cleansed Gaza." https://www.juancole.com/2024/03/western-genocide-humanitarian.html
Ghassan Kanafani in the 70s dealt with the same problems we have now:
“Because this is something that cannot be avoided.” In fact, though, this phrase is an extension of the widely used Israeli slogan that “A good Arab is a dead Arab.”
"Despite their narrow focus, recent international sanctions against settlers are laying the foundations to turn verbal condemnations into tangible action."
