    When Palestinians protest peacefully, no one listens, nothing changes, and they get killed by Israeli forces.

    When people in the US have tried to support Palestinians by boycotting Israeli products and divesting institutions of Israeli investments, lawmakers have passed laws banning such boycotts.

    When Palestinians protest violently, they get bombed and killed at a much faster rate by Israeli forces.

    Israel will almost certainly kill at least 10x as many civilians in their campaign than Hamas militants did; Israel’s foreign minister has already said that Israel is going to end up killing civilians unintentionally (“unintentionally”), and that the world needs to cut them slack in advance. The US will continue to support Israel, both because evangelicals believe Jews need to control Jerusalem in order for Jesus to return (“return”), and because recognizing the apartheid nature of Israel would condemn our own treatment of Native Americans.
