US aid for Israel is in sight! Apartheid's days are numbered!
All US aid for Israel could be ended. This was actually voted on in the United States House of Representatives. The measure lost, but the issue will return. The end is in sight.
The United States could end its support for the Israeli military state. This could be the beginning of the end of the Apartheid Israeli state.
There is a model for this.
In Spring 1985 a set of campus protests took place in which university students, including at my alma mater, the University of California at Berkeley, demanded their institution divest itself of funds in South Africa in order to press for the end of Apartheid. Over the course of the movement, hundreds were arrested as protesters built shantytowns and organized boycotts. In July, Berkeley's governing board voted to divest; Columbia did so in October of that year. A movement that started in 1976 (Hampshire College) led to divestment by the governing boards of 155 colleges and universities in the United States.
The divestment movement culminated when it was taken up by the United States Congress.
On October 2, 1986, overriding President Reagan's veto, it ended support for South Africa’s Apartheid regime. Negotiations to end the regime began in 1990.
South Africa remains and its European residents remain citizens. Most did not leave. Despite the country's problems.
No two situations are alike. But the parallels are enough to warrant the claim: The end of a Jewish state and its replacement by a democratic state belonging legally and fully to all of its residents, with the question of managing claims of a right of return to residents of this territory displaced by the Jewish state to be negotiated and determined in the only way proper, which is by all parties concerned - this is within sight.
There is no other acceptable solution.
Without American support, Israel may be pressured to negotiate a peace, instead of continuing its project of mass murder. We cannot know what the result will look like exactly, but, all things, and persons affected, considered, it cannot be worse than the situation we have. I am sure there will remain a Jewish presence in this land. I also do not believe that was ever the stake in this war. The Zionists wanted a national state based on an inclusivity that necessitates its complementary term, exclusion. We have come to see what that means. Their nationalist model, a nineteenth century one that triumphed in the early to middle part of the last, has lost whatever credibility, and tenability, it may once have seemed to have. Admit it: that dream is over.
