Don't merely witness. Join an organization and work against st this genocide.

Whichever ones are active at any local protests or actions. If none are, then a socialist organization that does not mince words about support for the resistance. If you are in college there are anti-imperialist orgs organized specifically by and for college students.

I would be more specific but it's more important to find an active org with a good line on Palestine (e.g. one that opposes Harris, supports fighting against Israel) than it is to join one specific national org.

Why would you need to?

I read this and think there is nothing I as a normal person can do. Sure I write my elected officials to stop the genocide, to stop Israel from killing civilians. But what else can I do?

If the elected officials don't want to listen then stop voting for them.

This specic post October attack Israeli incursion, genocide and massive land grab will be Joe Biden's legacy. Nothing he did or will do will shine a candle light on this.

Was listening to the Oct 7th episode of the Majority Report as they spoke with Ilan Pappé and they discussed how just as Biden got into Washington he was replacing a guy on certain committees that was driven out of politics by the Israel lobby for daring to write a report on Israeli direct and illegal funding of US politicians and trying to have a public enquiry on it. Biden learned a very important lesson, by a Zionist or the Zionists will fund a smear campaign against you.
