I attended to Palestine protest in Glasgow the day before yesterday, i attend protests fairly regularly/do a lot of campaigning.
I completely understand what people mean by it going towards deaf ears but we as human beings should never give up. This worlds will always be poverty stricken, realistically, we live in a **** and depressin world where people are always going to die and little kids are always going to suffer and the powers that be wont give two ****s. That is life. But giving up, giving up hope is what we should never do.
Protests might to little but they reaussre us that we are doing the little we can do, protests might not cause much awareness but they provie israel with a strong voice of opposition: "no we will not stand by as you send air strikes and hit disabled centers and schools and children and innocents, we human beings wont stand by this".
Its all about hope and giving in, when you give in and stop trying, you believe they have already won and that is our downfall. We should always do our bit because that is the least we can do. And if that bit is flag flying, marching and screaming and giving the authority a bit of trouble, then we should do it proudly and loudly.
I For one will never be silent when wrong is happening in the world, whether it be Palestinians getting killed or innocent brits getting killed, we as humanity have a responsibility to do we can.
Peace.
