Explain to me what you think you, an individual, would do to “change society” in Israel?

Ultimately a society is composed of many individuals. We all play a small part in its change.

would whatever you do as an individual have more of an effect than simply not paying Israeli taxes?

In the grand scheme of things, not paying taxes is also a pretty miniscule thing. The US funding for Israel is pretty big though. If the needed more weapons that your tax dollars would have paid for, I’d guess the tax dollars you paid in the US would go to the same place. I guess the alternative is to live in not-US and not-Israel. But either way, I think the US would just fork up more money anyway.
But the main point I’m making is, bad people will find a way to do bad things. The best way to eliminate bad people is to change their minds.
