“The Palestinian people will never receive justice through the UN. Their situation […] is very similar to that suffered by the black majority of South Africa […]. Apartheid was finally defeated by an international people’s boycott that isolated the regime from international markets, cultural and artistic events. This, now is the only way to help the Palestinian people obtain their freedom.”

—Shabaz Fazal: “Israel–Palestine” (2013).

@j9t It is also very similar to the situation of the Native American populations during the settlement of the Americas. Native Americans unfortunately for the most part never found vindication.
