I'll ask you what I already asked someone else. I wonder if you'll take me up on it: If I challenged you to send an email to a prominent person- a politician, a celebrity, a business leader- asking them to use their power to speak to the media in order to speak on behalf of Palestinians every time you brought up the election, would you do it?
No that would be ineffective.
I directly fund pro Palestinian journalists and content creators.
Talking to the media on a regular basis about what is happening in Palestine is ineffective? So it would be more effective to let them control the narrative? It would be more effective to not keep people informed? You really believe that? Because the near total lack of reporting on the genocide going on in Sudan sure doesn't seem to be helping matters there. Especially since I've had to let more than one person on Lemmy know that yes, there is a genocide going on in Sudan even if they don't want to know about any genocide but the single one they are laser-focused on.
I am trying to get people to do the bare minimum of taking action beyond just pointing fingers at each other and accusing each other of supporting genocide. I guess you would prefer they continue to do nothing but that?
