I'm afraid that tooting, posting, protesting, and signing petitions are not working at all in making a dent in the policies that the monstrous ruling class is adopting towards genocidal Israel.
We have to organise on a much more effective level. Are there legal venues that could be pursued to exert pressure on the ruling class? By legal, I mean something like suing people in positions of power. I would be willing to contribute within my means to the expenses of lawyers.
Ideas?

First item of order: in democracies it's not a ruling class, it's governing servants.
While we think of them as rulers, we're just choosing temporary kings and emperors among the political elite.
They work for us, they're not our leaders.
We will never move the needle while we think we need to beg.
We demand.
With votes, and with independent information venues, and with freedom of speech and movement.

Democracy is the worst governing model if you exclude all previous models, that's no excuse.
But people don't have to be silent.
That's just a convenient lie, and "disinformation", "misinformation", "mal-information" are terms mostly used as attack dog tactics by those who want us as obeying ruled class.

That would be true if the majority of a population (at least in electoral sense) make stopping a genocide their #1 electoral issue. But that's not the case in the West.
Also the political elites are NOT conducting themselves as "public servants" when they demonize protestors. They are behaving like authoritarian rulers.
Democracy is so overrated. See in the US where public opinion is manipulated easily by using the boogeyman card (i.e. Trump).
