Old folks like me remember the Eighties when the civilized parts of the world decided that the South African and Rhodesian apartheid states were no longer acceptable and systematically excluded them from sports and culture and commerce and, basically, civilization.
To me it seems plausible that #Israel is heading down a very similar path.

@timbray there was also an extremely sophisticated propaganda apparatus for keeping the question of ending apartheid out of the Overton window. I just started reading this book; hard to remember how effective the campaigns were!

For those who don’t remember, apartheid’s number one argument in its own self-defense were “You may not like what we do but our neighbors are much worse, so criticizing us is unfair and unbalanced.” Sound familiar?
