I briefly tried to engage the anti-Biden/Harris pro-Palestinian crowd on Bluesky. I quickly gave up, since they were utterly unwilling to see that they were helping Trump and that the Palestinians would be doomed by a Trump election. I did wonder to what extent their movement might have been infiltrated by Russian actors, particularly since Stein is widely suspected as being in Putin’s orbit. I have no knowledge one way or the other, but their actions certainly served Putin’s interests.

If you recognize that Israel has made a two state solution impossible, when do you move to holding out hope it’s someday possible to demanding full citizenship rights in Israel for all Palestinians today?

I've written that the best solution would be a one-state solution and Israel may back itself into that- although they will try mightily to hive Palestinians into "autonomous" enclaves scattered across the West Bank and south Gaza, much as South Africa did with the bantustans.

But yes demanding full citizenship rights for Palestinians may well be the next real movement for Palestinian rights that is possible.
