By Ali Abunimah

An extraordinary series of articles, reports and presentations by Israel’s influential Reut Institute has identified the global movement for justice, equality and peace as an "existential threat" to Israel and called on the Israeli government to direct substantial resources to "attack" and possibly engage in criminal "sabotage" of this movement in what Reut believes are its various international "hubs" in London, Madrid, Toronto, the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

The Reut Institute’s analyses hold that Israel’s traditional strategic doctrine — which views threats to the state’s existence in primarily military terms, to be met with a military response — is badly out of date. Rather, what Israel faces today is a combined threat from a "Resistance Network" and a "Delegitimization Network."

During a hectic spell around the beginning of 2009, I remember a message from trade unionist Bongani Masuku, in which he made a very profound observation. The gist of it was that the struggle against apartheid required its total eradication not seeking some form of adjustment with it that would result in “peace under apartheid”.

Masuku, who spearheaded a series of civil-society initiatives on behalf of South Africa’s powerful labour movement COSATU to express solidarity for the Palestinian cause, injected a unique form of dynamism to anti-Israeli activism.

His role remains as crucial and dynamic as before despite efforts by the pro-Israeli lobby to silence him. And herein lies the paradox confronting groups who purport to represent SA Jewry while the sum total of their domestic politics can be summed up as defenders of a foreign entity characterized by a strange mix of colonialism and apartheid.

The reality of intolerance as a cardinal tenet within the Zionist movement’s propaganda armoury has unfortunately become an unchallenged facet of life within sectors of government, media and commerce.
