The protests for Palestine have also persisted for over two months now, similar to the 2020 George Floyd protests. They may be slowing some, but they are still happening. If anything, people are likely being recruited into actual organizational and educational work and finding sustainable levels of involvement, which while less sexy, is on the whole more crucial than chanting in the street.

I wonder how much of it is more regional (i.e. say at present the number marching/protest are similar and they are distributed rather than concentrated, I'd need to see rough total counts for time periods to get a good idea, stuff the appropriate authorities have I'm sure...)
