How can an ordinary person actually help Palestine? (lemmy.ml)

On boycotts, I've already started avoiding their products, but when I noticed that people around me, and people in general, don't take it seriously, I began questioning whether it actually has any real impact. Is the problem that boycotts don't work, or that people simply can't resist their habits and desires? I honestly can't create change alone, so what am I supposed to do with that?

So I'm asking: where does an ordinary person start? What common mistakes should I avoid? What genuinely helps, instead of hollow gestures of solidarity?

The forced displacement, missiles, artillery, drone strikes, snipers, settler attacks, farmland and crop destruction, and restriction of any incoming aid or movement of every Palestinian living there has nothing to do with the actions of the apartheid state occupying more than 90% of plaestinian territories, of course it's all hamas /s

Real quick, how many times have hamas said they "want to destroy everyone" compared to how many times the israeli government have openly stated they want to wipe Gaza out?

How many times have Hamas stated they are willing to negotiate?

How many people have been killed since the "ceasefire" came into effect?
