Israel and its supporters have done a good job in inverting fact-based accusations of racism and Apartheid by smearing the accusers of anti-Semitism. However, that is changing and Israel’s quick response to Emma Watson’s solidarity with the Palestinians only exposes this ‘invert the argument’ strategy.
A simple expression of solidarity with oppressed people is not ‘anti’ anything or anybody and many a people who had little or no interest in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will start looking at the it differently. This whole episode has exposed Israel’s Apartheid policies and its ridiculous defense.
