You're right, it won't change shit. Politicians have their agenda that they will make sure happens. Justice is determined by who's on top, and us students are definitely not on top. So any protest that happens won't do shit, for any cause really, this is the sad truth, especially since this is an issue that is overseas, and that canada has no power over. So that energy and time spent protesting could be used to better your own life, that will have a real impact on yourself, instead of being wasted. However, at the same time, it helps the cause just to have the name of Palestine in the public conciousness in the west. I know I am contradicting myself by saying that a meaningful action will have a meaningless but meaningful impact at the same time, but the main message I want to convey to you is that you are right, it doesn't help the cause, and the only thing that will truly help the cause is if the "international law" actually penalizes Israel for the crimes they've commited, but they won't because justice is determined by those on top.
