Netanyahu feels complete impunity because all US politicians need ‘support of Jewish community’ — former Israeli diplomat

I’ve long said that the ultimate price to Israel will be cultural isolation. I’m skeptical if they can be defeated economically, and militarily they are very strong.

In the end, it’s the same thing that brought white-ruled SA down: the cutting of all ties. Israel may fare better, because while they see themselves as part of the West, there are still more differentiating factors than the case of the white Christians of SA, who were mirror-images of the general public in the West. It was literally like family turning on you, so Apartheid simply had to end.

Nevertheless, Israel has no other cultural sphere to turn to. What do the average Israeli share in common with the average Chinese or the average Indian other than empty bromides of “we value education”? Do they have significant overlap in their cultural history, their current references, their philosophy and language? No. Israel has no other place than the West to turn to for kinship.

And if they lose that, will they endure the isolation it entails? SA didn’t. But Israel just might. It’s hard to say, because they haven’t really paid any price. That’s why Avital is so scared of cultural BDS. It’s why she brings up the visa issue. It’s all touching this third rail.
