 For what? To forward a holocaust being committed by an ethnostate that is being funded and supported by the United States. We should all be very clear about what is happening in occupied Palestine. This is a slow moving ethnic cleansing operation that has been going on for over 75 years. Now, with the worst of the Zionist terrorists running the show in Israel, the pace of the genocide is accelerating. Netanyahu, Gvir, Hagari, Smotrich and many other high-level scumbags in Israel literally speak in the language of genocide. This is what the end of empire looks like, openly funding and supporting a genocide for all the world to see. The only thing left for us regular folk is to ask, "What can I do about this?" BDS Israel. Fix the money change the world. Stop voting for bought and paid for politicians operating in system that spits in the face of humanity. Become an agorist. Work, step-by-step, inch-by-inch to dissolve the state and all of the apparatus used to destroy the lives and well-being of everyday people. 
 In 1940, they didn't have any social media, just newspapers and that was enough to get the troops to land in Normandy.  

Now, every waking second we see the euthanasia of the Palestinians and yet nothing.  

I'm just happy that South Africa did something,  least sending troops.  
 For sure, kudos to South Africa (and the handful of other nations that are trickling in to support the effort) for standing up against Israel. No doubt they will suffer in myriad ways for doing so, however, the increasingly multipolar world will hopefully have its back. 

Apathy is a terrible disease. It is everywhere. Combine that with minds that have been so aggressive propagandized and cultivated over decades, and, here we are. A pretty sick world "citizenry".
