This is a question that gets asked a lot.
It's also a question that's really hard to answer given how things are just across the border in Palestine. You know, I personally find it hard to... to engage and ask for help and ask for solidarity when there's a genocide being committed next door.

really feel left out they feel betrayed they feel let down by the international community by the rest of the world yeah and any act of solidarity goes on incredibly well like the first year i was there i was basically useless because i didn't speak the language i didn't know my way around i was like a burden on society more or less

Yeah, absolutely. I think I would just add to that to say that solidarity with any group is a long term project, right? You're not going to jump in and be able to make a huge difference immediately.
