    Interestingly to me, and aside from the positions of the IMT (do they support BDS today?), some dissident Israelis like Shlomo Sand used to oppose BDS on similar grounds, advocating instead for change from within. Sand has said he had to give that notion up in the face of reality, that Israeli society is simply too racist to change or be overturned except with massive pressure from without. (That’s perhaps an idealist reading of the reality, confusing symptom for cause.)

    I think he says it at some point in this interview. Apologies if I’ve misremembered the source! If anyone watches, they can let me know. :)
