I know I said I’d try to avoid blogging about what is currently happening in Israel, for fear of getting embroiled in a political minefield, but I really think this video is an important watch. It’s an interview between Owen Jones and Andrew Feinstein, a Jewish journalist from South Africa, in which they explore the parallels between how Israel treats Palestinians and South African Apartheid. They go into quite extensive detail, but I think it helps to put what we are currently watching in the Middle East into context, as well as making the issues at hand absolutely clear for anyone even remotely concerned about social justice. I’m not going to try to summarise what they say here, other than to say that it is thorough, qualified, balanced and absolutely chilling.
