Defeat Israel... Renowned Israeli academic, historian and activist Ilan Pappe, one of the panelists, believes the Israeli occupation will be defeated like the apartheid regime in South Africa. Apartheid South was defeated by the moral consciousness of the people. This is what Israelis know and fear, he told the audience. Moral values of human rights are stronger than F16s, said Pappe who lives in exile due to his academic work and support of the Palestinian struggle, in particular his championing of the academic boycott of Israel. He is currently a Professor of History at Exeter University in the UK as well as the Director of the European Centre for Palestine. Pappe insisted that the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel was a non-violent, humane movement against racism in the 21st century. We need the governments of Africa, Latin America, and south East Asia, he said. We have heard enough of the USA, they have brought destruction. The academic told the audience not to confuse the American people with their government. There are many Americans, including Jews, who are marching against Israeli atrocities, said Pappe.
