The chants will not acheive anything, because they dont adress the core problem: the existence of this collective identity called the "west"m which in fact defines itself though othering people and though its bloodstained history of Euro-colonialism: a brutal muderous enterprise of exploiting the rest of the world.
As long as there are lost of people who skip over their French or English or whatever history and culture, and seek to assemble under the umbrella of being "western" or "white"....well exploitation and murder will take place.
There isn't a way to get "the west" to NOT be murderous.
And the so called IDF is in fact a western colonial army.
The solution is to demobilize people from adopting this single purpose, murderous identity. It would be better if people wise up and focus removing themselves from this idenitty and bleed it of its pretense of being cultural or benign.
But these chants are really a dead end, no worse - they are taking people far up the wrong lane. It's the path the enemy WANTS you to wander into, because its better for them if people get lost and better yet many of the leaders of change can be arrested for merely emoting while getting nothing done.

"Had lunch with Justice [Robert] Jackson. .. a fine, able man and has grand and spacious ideas on Nuremberg trials in mid-October, with Weizmann, Goldman or S.S.W as Jewish witnesses to present the Jewish Case ...
"In itself it becomes the greatest trial in history, with what Jackson calls its broad departure from Anglo-Saxon legal tradition. **Retroactively "aggressive war making" becomes criminally punishable--with membership in the Gestapo prima facie proof of criminal participation. ..."**

Ugly comment.
BTW, at risk of seeming picky,
