I see that this question was flagged. I understand that this is sensitive political topic, but my goal is not to start flame wars but truly engage in exploring potential solutions. HN is full of extremely intelligent and creative people, there's no other such place on the net, I think being able to tap into the "HN hive-mind" could yield some insights. I'd be curious for the reason of flagging this question. To dang/mods: feel free to change the title (I now can't) to e.g. "how to stop tragedy in Gaza" or something less controversial, if that's the issue. Thanks.

There is little to do really except probably push back in casual conversation on the narrative that Israeli lives are more valuable than Palestinian ones, which has been prevalent since October 7th.
Which country are you in? Depending on which country and where you are within that country, maybe your vote could help

I've had the same thought initially, but I think this is "surface-level" thinking about the problem. We could say: "we can't shout for 5km, so we can't communicate at a distance in real-time" — but clever people had very interesting ideas how to look at this problem from another perspective. This is maybe a bad analogy but my point is that there might be non-obvious ways to address this.
