No shit that I am irrelevant to the war in Gaza. I live on the other side of the world and dont have any political power. The most I could do is try to send some money to aid the Palestinian refugees, and I still would be invisible and irrelevant to it. Are you sending money, supplies, armaments, or fighting for Hamas? If not you are invisible and irrelevant to this conflict yourself. Just like 99.999% of the world's population.

Vocal support matters in democracies. If Western governments stopped supporting Israel this war would be very different.

By not even vocally supporting anything you have taken away your own voice. You've silenced yourself.
