Description
Arising in a variety of contexts in recent years, 'apartheid' has become a common reference point in analyses of developments in Israel-Palestine. The World Conference Against Racism in Durban in September 2001 and the deliberations of the International Court of Justice in The Hague in March 2004 are two examples. Even a section of the Palestinian national movement has developed a strategy aimed at isolating Israel internationally on this basis. (1) This development is consistent with one of the last contributions of Palestinian American and historian of colonialism Edward Said. While reflecting (rather pessimistically) on the options open to the Palestinian national movement, he highlighted both the absolute need for a comprehensive change in leadership--one of his longstanding demands--and a far-reaching change in strategy. Quoting Nelson Mandela, he specifically advocated a struggle capable of affecting 'the imagination and dreams of the entire world', a struggle capable of offering 'the whole society--even the Whites who apparently benefited from the Apartheid--the only way that enabl[ed] the preservation of basic human values'. (2) Said referred to the struggles of black South Africans and how they had ultimately received the support of US public opinion: 'Uninformed and yet open to appeals for justice as they are, Americans are capable of reacting as they did to the ANC campaign against apartheid, which finally changed the balance of forces inside South Africa'.
