Whether Israel apologists accept it or not, dynamics have shifted and there’s no going back to accepting the pittance of abstract, mañana peace that such coalitions and allyships promise.

“Secondary victims” of Israel don’t get to dictate what its primary victims determine as necessary and moral.

Those denouncing BDS commitments harken back to old-guard politics of civility, which brought us to this very moment.

That framework has collapsed. The old guard do not lead the narrative anymore. This is exactly why “obscene” folks like Sarah Hurwitz are lamenting the loss of young Jews.

The Okaz article:

I still believe in what is basically a South Africa solution but the whites in South Africa did not commit 1,000 Sharpevilles a year for multiple years straight. What does truth and reconciliation look like in this circumstance? It would have to be based on actual foundational principle of justice.
