One of the smallest things I do in this regard is to wear a Palestine bike jersey on my almost daily bike rides. I had to look as far as Ali-Baba, a Chinese online shopping site. I got a couple for my sons, too , all for last Christmas.
If you hold an intention to help and to resist evil, it helps you see things that you can do.
Only one person has shouted something negative out of a car this year, and it was early, like March. I think more people on my residential 3 mile loop, particularly women, started looking in my face and smiling as I ride my laps.
I stand on the main corner in my city every week with a sign that says “Honk for a Ceasefire” and each week we are seeing more and more positive engagement. I get the occasional middle fingers and stern head shakes, but that number is very low compared to the people with their peace fingers out their windows. Keep the issue fresh in everyone’s awareness and continue to encourage people to act.
I wear a keffiyeh I ordered online wherever I go. If it inspires a dirty look from someone, I blow them a kiss 😁 even though my inclination is to pound them to sawdust 😉
I salute you even for that small act of rebellion against the machine. Today, with mass surveillance, and the ability for them to trump up charges against you, along with targeted harrassment - even the smallest act can bring unwanted attention to you. This is how we know we are increasingly living in a Totalitarian state: a state based on fear. One lives in constant personal insecurity. Human rights no longer really exist.
