I understand, today my own nation votes to slap down a hand outstretched in peace and warmth. In my own state police deploy anti terror powers to crack down on anyone attending a rally against Israeli militancy.

Am lucky on this one, in that my country is generally supportive of Palestinians and even our neoliberal government has been critical of Israel's behaviour, now and also in the past. It is unlikely that they'd ban the protests.
Though if they did, it could easily result in far more people taking to the streets.
Wishing you all the best in your endeavours, wherever you are.
