“You can’t even engage in direct action like blocking the weapons shipments and sabotaging the arms manufacturers unless you’re prepared to do some serious prison time.”

Precisely what we have been and are doing. Look up Palestine Action (in the U.K.). The state is having us arrested and charged, only for our Jury system - made up of our peers - to keep acquitting us at trial. We’ve “encouraged” u.k. companies to cut ties with Israeli companies, with some success. We’ve also repeatedly closed down Elbit - the main Israeli weapons manufacturer - along with causing damage to their factories and offices costing them millions of pounds. It may seem hopeless at times, but doing nothing really does give no hope.
