Prof. Yoram Peri: The world after Gaza
Prof. Yoram Peri argues that the three-year war in Gaza has changed the world, citing examples such as books in London, elections in the UK Green Party, and international protests and boycotts. He asserts that even if Netanyahu wins the elections, it will be impossible to return to the world before the war.
Prof. Yoram Peri argues that the three-year war in Gaza has profoundly changed the world, and that Israel does not understand this. He describes a visit to London where he saw five books on the subject, including 'Requiem for Gaza' and 'The World After Gaza'. As a political example, he cites a by-election in London where Green Party leader Jacques Polanski lost after the party conference approved a declaration defining Zionism as racism and supporting a single Palestinian state by a vote of 1,022 to 813. Following this, he says, public support for the party dropped from about 20% to about 8%. Peri notes massive protests in Amsterdam, dockworker strikes at 21 ports, cultural and academic boycotts, and argues that even if Netanyahu wins the upcoming elections, the world has changed and it will be impossible to return to the pre-war situation. He concludes by calling for sending Netanyahu and his family to Florida.
