The police protect Barclays Bank against genocide protestors. Brutal, but all it means is simply an admission they have lost the moral and political argument.
 
The current Israeli coalition government may be on the ropes but don’t be under the illusion that a left wing government will make a difference to the plight of Palestinians, the left wingers are just as brutal.
Don’t worry, I’m under no illusions. I’ve long argued that there is no Israeli left as such, or any agency among Israelis powerful enough to take on the apartheid state. But it’s incumbent upon us to take advantage of any disunity and force the wedge even deeper. There was already a huge crisis brewing under Netanyahu’s premiership and the last eight months have exacerbated those tensions massively.

It’s still early days, but there will be no going back to any sort of normalisation of Israel after this. The ICJ has ruled against them. The ICC has issued arrest warrants. And Israel is now officially a murderous, pariah, rogue, apartheid state in the eyes of huge swathes of the globe. From now on, every time an Israeli team takes part in a sporting competition, or any other cultural activity, they are going to be met with anti-apartheid protests.
