From 1955 until his death in 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was the dominant leader of the US civil rights movement. Following the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, the Rev. Dr. King believed that nonviolent protest is the most effective weapon against a racist and unjust society. But it required rallying people to his cause. Here are some of the most revolutionary peaceful protests King led.

Sadly, protesting in the US is not going to have any impact on Netanyahu. On the other hand, it could send a message to our politicians and media. US tax payer money has been funding bombs and weapons used by Israel to kill tens of thousands of innocent people in Gaza. We just authorized more.
Biden is in a tough spot with so many siding with Israel upset with him for not supporting Israel more and just as many upset with him for not supporting Palestinians more.
Based on who Biden is, what matters the most to him is doing what will get him the most votes and that has meant trying to appease both sides but that comes off as him not supporting either side with enough gusto.

Regardless, this is only going to get worse until Netanyahu decides to stop the Genocide in Gaza.
We are living at the best time to be human beings in history because of the wonderful technologies, medicine and opportunities.
However, advancing and becoming more civilized, though its fighting discrimination and ethics/humanity violations, still has a long way to go in many places around the world..........including here in our own country!
