The BDS movement is in the right direction! Yeah, it can be hard to explain bitcoin from this angle. I think the discussion should start with how fiat itself funds Israel military operations, and how we need to move off of fiat. Mention bitcoin in the context of being able to get around fiat, and how we can send it to Palestinians too. I use myself as an example. My family on my father's side is Palestinian, and I literally send bitcoin to my family in the West Bank. That usually gets people to start thinking a little bit. I talk about the Palestine issue in the last chapter.

100%. Most of the anti-Zionist activists are sadly lefties, and a lot of Bitcoin's selling points aren't as compelling because they hate prosperity (or otherwise, associate it with Trump and/or Bukele). But, when you remind them that they're saving for retirement anyway, and their 401k is otherwise chock full of companies enabling the genocide, it definitely can open some doors. Also doesn't hurt to bring up the Human Rights Foundation, Alex Gleason, and even stuff like the Fedimint project.

Ohh I've mentioned several times before this to my teachers how we are able to send bitcoin to the Palestinians. But I guess they still can't wrap their head around HOW exactly is bitcoin being used as daily transactions. They think you'd need to cash out, or exchange it for fiat, or anything along the same line. Haven't reached the last chapter but I did browse through. Appreciate the effort to write an extensive yet practical book on this.
