Israel’s extreme escalation of violence against Palestinians in Gaza following the Hamas attacks of October 7 has sparked an unprecedented wave of global solidarity with Palestine. For two months, protesters have taken to the streets in mass demonstrations around the world. Workers have declared their refusal to transport arms. Activists have occupied offices of political representatives and blocked entrances to Israeli and international arms companies. Students have led walkouts, and businesses have closed their doors in answer to calls for international strike actions. In the context of this global social movement with Palestine at its center, the comparative lack of political mobilization among ’48 Palestinians, commonly referred to as Palestinian citizens of Israel, is conspicuous.
Israel is an apartheid state based on Palestinian dispossession, with half the people living under its direct rule denied the vote. So much for the protesters' precious liberal democracy
