Hmm, I've been seeing all of the news of the pro-Palestine protest from yesterday and I wonder how effective these were? I have been feeling bad and helpless with this situation and I'm thinking maybe I should be joining protests, because really, what else can I do?

It’s a war. Unfortunately civilians die in wars and especially when the militants hide behind them. If you truly want to help, call for the release of all Israeli hostages in exchange for a ceasefire. That would end the bloodshed tomorrow.

I doubt it would end the bloodshed tomorrow lol but it’s worth a shot

Just don’t be selfish enough to block roads

Maybe I am weird, but I find that these protests that block roads and cause public disruption have the opposite intended effect on me. Regardless of cause (left, right or whatever) their obnoxious conduct pisses me off and I hold that as a proxy against whatever cause they are fighting for. I am fine with free speech, but people who engage in this type of disruptive conduct deserve significant jail time

I agree with you mostly here. If it’s an actual local cause I’m much more tolerant of road blockage than if it’s something halfway around the world.

These protest may not help in the short term but they awaken the American people in long term that people in power do not serve American peoples interests but rather the interests of their donors who fund them in elections.

Lol, looks like your earlier comment was harsher…A lot of times we presume that if we know something, we expect everyone to know it.

Not just that people get to learn about the other side of the story.

Next time you go to Walmart stop 10 people and ask them what is the reason of the conflict.

I had requested a super brutal resume review a couple of days back here and got some excellent feedback. Added indents and cut down content (there was a lot more text earlier) according to suggestions.

Will be extremely grateful for an additional review with the changes. I am looking for business intelligence and business analyst roles.

I am also looking for a referral in Deloitte +kpmg for a systems/bi analyst role, will be super grateful for some help there too.
