Complete and utter pathetic losers people like you are to think waving signs and chanting slogans, and high-fives for feel-good protests do anything useful other than self gratification.

Meanwhile Germany announced yesterday that it would stop all weapons deliveries to Israel. That is "The safe existence of Israel is part of the Reason Germany exists"-Germany stopping weapons deliveries. That would not have happened without public protests that shifted public opinion.

Complete and utter pathetic people like you are to think writing online comments about how everything is pointless makes them somehow appear cleverer or wiser than the people at least carrying their dissent to the streets. Go away you nihilistic troll.

You are absolutely correct: the current Trump-friendly government would not have acted this way without wide peaceful protest on all channels & iRL.

But I feel compelled to add: this sort of very mild criticism of Israel - mild enough to let them carry on with their expansionism - is where we were pre Trump/Netanyahu. For decades.

This is not to support the troll in any way, though. Just a BTW.
