Why Palestine? [...] Firstly, it is one of the most morally unambiguous question in the world today. The Israeli state is openly racist, with completely different legal standards for members of its population on the grounds of their racial, religious and ethnic identities. It is a violent colonial state based squarely on concepts of racial supremacy. It is the last stand-out example of the colonial state form that was abolished in South Africa and ‘Rhodesia’ among other places. But unlike those examples, the oppressed racial minority in Palestine are not viewed as cheap labour, but as a useless and troubling obstacle to the stability of the state.
