I agree existing modes of protest are mostly unlikely to change the situation on the ground in Gaza and the West Bank. However the "official" responses to the protests are potentially valuable for making more explicit the totalitarian intents of those holding power. If anyone is paying attention, or if it wasn't already obvious enough.

A key problem is that most of the people "teaching" other people about any of this also lack nuance and discernment and ability to comprehend, let alone interact with, the complexity of the messes we humans have made for ourselves. Most older humans are seldom any better at effective thinking or action than younger ones. There's almost no true adults at all left in the industrial-globalization-culture room, and the few that are generally get less than no respect (Finkelstein might be one such). Because adolescents - regardless of biological age - don't want to hear from adults. They already know everything, and adults are just stupid. And these are the people who rule the world these days, whether as politicians or techno-industrial moguls.
