After decades of occupation and creeping annexation, the situation on
the ground in Palestine/Israel can only be described as a system of
apartheid. Peace efforts have failed because of one, inconvenient
truth: the Israeli maximum on offer does not meet the Palestinian
minimum, or the standards of international law. But while the
situation on the ground is bleak, Ben White argues that there are
widening cracks in Israel's traditional pillars of support. Opposition
to Israeli policies and even critiques of Zionism are growing in
Jewish communities, as well as amongst Western progressives. The
election of Donald Trump has served as a catalyst for these processes,
including the transformation of Israel from a partisan issue into one
that divides the US establishment. Meanwhile, the Palestinian-led
boycott campaign is gathering momentum, prompting a desperate backlash
by Israel and its allies. With sharp analysis, Ben White says now is
the time to plot a course that avoids the mistakes of the past - a way
forward beyond apartheid in Palestine. The solution is not partition
and ethnic separation, but equality and self-determination - for all.
