What’s your prediction of the next cause the ‘activists’ are going to move into, after Gaza?

Seems like they’re getting bored of Palestine now that it’s a bit awkward talking about Hamas killing Palestinians in the streets.

so what do we think the next big cause is that they’re going to move onto? Do we think they'll finally bother to start talking about the awful crisis in Sudan? Or is there a trendier topic emerging?

If the genocide in Gaza does come to an end, I imagine a lot of people might start paying attention to the horrendous injustices in the West Bank.
Like illegal settlements carving out more and more of the land that is meant to be Palestinian. Or settler violence.
Or the IDF shooting young children, like Muhammad al-Hallaq who was shot by the IDF in a West Bank village yesterday. He was 10.

Witnesses say Muhammad al-Hallaq had been playing football before soldiers arrived and opened fire.

Op what else do you like to jest about other than Genocide, famine and mass flattening of an entire civilian population’s home?

There's much bigger to protest than a genocide to be fair. But you didn't use that word in your 'edgy' post did you

They’ll go very quiet until the next time Hamas slaughter innocent people and Israel retaliate. Then they’ll drag their flags out from under the bed and back they’ll come.

What a nasty sneering post, especially when so many thousands of people have lost their lives or been injured. I really don't think this is in the spirit of Mumsnet.

The OP sounds insufferable

I don't think people will ever stop the activism for Palestine, sorry to disappoint you OP.

No idea. Maybe you could help them out by talking about what cause you're fighting for and what you're doing to help?
