Horrible escalating violence by Israeli settlers - what can we do? Feeling very helpless

I just watched a short BBC video about just one week of Israeli settler violence against Palestinians. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c3wjq1188g9o

I know it goes on constantly, but I haven't seen it in videos with my own eyes - only heard about it. It's horrific. Those poor, poor people. Shooting and beating, and they even tortured a donkey to death ffs, absolute sadistic bastards.

What can we actually do? How can we help?

I feel like 'Free Palestine' has been shouted so much for so long that it's just become white noise in the background for a lot of people and they've stopped listening to it.
