I don’t think sinking this aid vessel would do anything to change the public conversation. The people who are aware already either condemn Israel or support the genocide. The unaware will not care about a handful more dead innocents.
The bottom line is that Israel is openly and proudly committing atrocities and the international community is not willing to stop it. Only a military intervention could dissuade the IDF.
“she shouldn’t have been there anyways”, “must have been the houthis with their magic long-range rockets”, etc etc.
Good on her for standing up to what she believes in… but I don’t really see it changing anyone’s opinions if she’s unfortunately murdered, but I hope I’m just pessimistic.

Publicly murdering a well-known pretty white girl is the kind of thing that might get the public on-board with military intervention

Stop giving Israel weapons that enable them to commit their murders, and they’ll stop.
They are making plenty of those themselves though.
With imported fuel, metal and more advanced parts.
Yes, of course, but I believe a broader trade embargo will be even harder to sell than a weapons embargo.
