Howdy! As I'm sure you're aware, Palestinians are being eradicated by Israeli forces, with the United States government not just condoning these atrocities, but supporting them. It's easy to feel powerless when your elected representatives are actively going against the wishes of the populace, especially in a situation as dire as this. But, there are ways you can help.

Listing from the least to the most effort, here they are:

1. Raise Awareness: Amplify Palestinian voices over social media. Amplify voices calling for an end to the Israeli apartheid. Amplify voices calling for a ceasefire now. Amplify voices calling for humanitarian aid to be allowed to be distributed amongst Palestinians in Gaza. Amplify voices who call for UN protection of Palestinians in Gaza. Amplify Calls To Action in favor of Palestinian freedom, such as those sharing protest information, petitions, etc. Share your own calls for peace.

5. Boycott: The Palestinian BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) National Committee highly recommends specific actions against the following:

   1. Consumer boycott targets: Aim to fully boycott these brands due to their companies' proven complicity in the Israeli apartheid:

      1. Siemens

      2. PUMA

      3. Carrefour

      4. AXA

      5. Hewlett Packard Inc (HP Inc)

      6. SodaStream

      7. Ahava

      8. RE/MAX

      9. Israeli produce in your supermarkets

   2. Divestment targets: Pressure governments, institutions and investment funds to exclude and divest from these enterprises for enabling the occupation:

      1. Elbit Systems

      2. HD Hyundai/Volvo/CAT/JCB

      3. Barclays

      4. CAF

      5. Chevron

      6. HikVision

      7. TKH Security

   3. Pressure (non-boycott) targets: Pressure these brands and services to cease their complicity in Israeli apartheid. On strategic grounds, there is no call for a boycott of these brands and services.

      1. Google and Amazon

      2. Airbnb/Booking/Expedia

      3. Disney

   4. This list has been extended to include the following in a less targeted, more organic, localized, boycott:

      3. Papa John’s

      4. Pizza Hut

      5. WIX

6. Call Out Propaganda: When you find passive voice being used by "journalists" to describe Israeli attacks on Palestinians, speak up to demand accurate reporting. When the media underestimates the scale of marches for Palestinian freedom (and a ceasefire), demand accurate reporting. When the media implies that Hamas may have been behind attacks on unpopular Palestinian targets, especially after Israel threatened those targets and took credit for hitting them, call out those blatant lies. Demand accurate reporting. Report misinformation when possible.

   1. Here are well respected individuals and organizations confirming that Isreal opresses Palestine under an apartheid system:

      1. Amnesty International condemns the Israeli apartheid system oppressing Palestians.

      2. Human Rights Watch condemns the Israeli apatheid system opressing Palestinians.

      3. UN rights expert Michael Lynk condemns the Iraeli apartheid system opressing Palestinians.

   2. Here are well respected individuals and organizations confirming that Israel is commiting a genocide against Palestinians:

      2. Craig Mokhiber, until recently the UN Director of the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, resigned from his position in a letter condemning the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.

7. Challenge Hatred: Don't let ignorance go uncorrected. Neither Islamophobia nor Antisemitism lead to peace. Hate begets hate and must be called out and corrected, always. If this is too much conflict and you find your efforts better spent on other methods of activism, at least block the hateful so there is one less set of eyes and ears on the nonsense they spew. And report their misinformation when possible.
