Did American nonviolent actions save 200000 Palestinian lives or did we just watch them die? Would the Palestinian cause be furthered more by nonviolent protest or a thousand Yemeni drone strikes? Asking for a friend.

     When I first saw this I thought it was a little harsh. But with the projected current death toll nearing 200000 Palestinians, almost all civilians that are being targeted, this seems to be accurate. And no they didn't all have it coming. OTOH is nonviolence working here? Would it have freed the slaves? Would it have defeated the Nazis and liberated the concentration camps? It would seem infrastructure attacks and Mr Robot style hacking attacks would be warranted, at the very least. I would like to think that you wouldn't have to kill anybody. My dark side is telling me that only a 20000 member merc force entering through the tunnels of Gaza or Palestinians using the Bird Flu as a weapon would get the civilian slaughter of Palestinians to stop. I don't think peaceful protest is going to cut it, said my very disreputable dark side, selling fentanyl and crack to teens and whistling while he works...
