best way to help the Palestinians currently is give them cameras, ways to publish their stories

I've seen lots of videos like that on youtube and read lots of stories like that over the years. It doesn't seem to be helping.

far better than firing rockets and killing innocent people at the other end.

There are 2.5 million people living in Gaza. Do you expect every single one of them to agree with you? And if you don't have perfect consensus from all 2.5 million, can your plan still work? Because it seems to me that if even a small number reject your plan and fire a few $100 rockets, the non-violent efforts of the rest will be ignored and they'll be tarred with rocketers. Right?
