<<What could do to end the situation in Gaza? What could anyone sitting at home do? I tend to think that sending money to Hamas would be a very bad idea.>>
I am actively looking for a local BDS initiative to get behind. I think government action is a lost cause. Both in Canada and the U.S.A., the legislators are individually bought and paid for by Zio-Nazi activists. AIPAC is just the tip of the iceberg. There are individuals totally unconnected with AIPAC, doctors, lawyers, accountants and dentists, who put up as little as $20,000 to $30,000 jointly, (the total from three or four individuals) then meet with their Congressman or Senator every few months and hand him the envelope, all cash, no receipts requested, no strings attached except one: "We don't give a shit about any issue except Israel; vote any way you like on anything else, but cross Israel just one time, no matter what the excuse, and you'll never see another envelope from us. And this is in ADDITION to whatever AIPAC gives - - these guys don't even want to know the size of the AIPAC contribution. This goes on all over the US and together with the other AIPAC and officially reported contributions, explains how Israel really gets away with every fucking crime and atrocity. Shills like Krauthammer provide the cover for the legislators, if they should ever feel the need to explain the inexplicable.
BDS worked with South Africa and in theory it can work with Israel. Because of their (the Zio-Nazis') stranglehold on the MSM, it's hard to rally the public to BDS, but I think it can work with students, trade union membership, church and synagogue groups, and various bodies organized around help for the underdog, etc. I think the problem is to find the group with the biggest chance of success and work your ass off for them. And to follow each recruiting success with another recruitment drive aimed again at a new target, preferably out of the sphere of influence of the existing BDS recruits, which can be encouraged to continue your original recruiting efforts in their own industry, field of business or academia, etc. Because of powerful Zio-Nazi influence in the MSM and the government, it's a big uphill struggle, but it's the only struggle I'm aware of (apart from the armed struggle) that looks even remotely promising.
