I can't do this anymore

Firstly, I am sorry if this is in the wrong thread because I am not Muslim.
I can't bear what is happening in Gaza.
Why is there so much hatred towards the Palestinians?
How can people justify what is happening?
I have marched, written to my MP and donated but I don't know what else to do.
I am not religious so praying is not an option.
What else can I do?

Today i read that the idf are using drones to terrorise the civilians by blasting out screaming babies and women screams flying over the camps doing psychological torture and baiting them so people could investigate and shoot them. Whoever you are, whatever you believe in, no human should endure such atrocities in this day and age.

That's great idea! I will look into it.

@Auvergne63 hi, you have already done alot and thank you for that.I personally feel that there is a overwhelming majority that do feel alot of sympathy for the Palestinians.

One other thing that you could possibly do if you wanted is contact any reputable local charities and see if you can get involved in fundraising for Gaza.

there is of course boycotting, I would suggest boycotting Google would be a good start.

What else can I do?

Keep on doing what you're doing. Keeping informed on this matter is sickening, I agree. The more you learn the easier it is to despair.
But the Palestinians have been able to alert the world to the nightmare they're in where they're guinea pigs in testing every kind of weapon in a war enabled and perpetuated by wealthy, far-off countries. People in equivalent situations in the Democratic Republic of Congo, for example, haven't achieved what the Palestinians have in showing the world (some of) what is being done to them.
There has been an uptick in US citizens interested on going a partial or full tax strike as they find out what their taxes are being used for in Palestine in particular and West Asia in general. People all over the world are taking an interest and pushing back.
Keep going!

Thousands of children have been killed in Gaza, it is desperately upsetting.

The hatred is not for the Palestinians but for Hamas which is a terrorist organisation with links to Iran, Hezbollah and Isis. Do you understand what they did to the Israelis on 7th October and how they are treating the hostages?

Well put.

To be honest, @Auvergne63, you even making this thread and all the actions you've taken as well as the fact that you feel so strongly about the whole incredibly sad crisis, is a massive deal. It may not feel like a lot, but we feel like we and by extension our Palestinian brothers and sisters have so few allies especially in this issue so thank you.

I guess the only thing to do is not forget them and to speak up for them.

I understand how you feel. we all feel helpless. we can't even donate money for aid as it's not getting through.

however it's not just Muslims in Palestine but many Christians too who have suffered.
@Rocknrollstar I am not even going to engage with you. go take your hatred somewhere else please

Thank you. You are right regarding Christians in Palestine.
