This interview essay discusses how support for Palestine has grown significantly over the past three years since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, leading to a shift in global public opinion against Israel. The author notes that while many celebrities and public figures now openly support Palestine, there has been little change in actual policy or actions taken by countries towards Israel. Over 200,000 Palestinians have reportedly been killed, injured, or are missing due to ongoing conflicts, yet trade with Israel continues and no significant measures have been taken against Israeli officials accused of war crimes. The essay questions why global decision-makers have not acted on the changing public sentiment regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Story summary
Diana Buttu writes in Zeteo about the increasing isolation of Israel and changing public opinion towards Palestinians. She notes that support for Palestinians has grown significantly, with public figures like Megyn Kelly altering their stance due to criticism over previous statements. Polls indicate that Israel is not liked, even in the United States. Palestine solidarity movements continue to draw large crowds; for example, Palestine marches attract thousands of participants. Notably, artists who avoid taking a clear stand on Israel’s actions, such as Ed Sheeran, face consequences like decreased ticket sales. Buttu emphasizes that staying neutral on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is no longer an option and highlights the growing recognition and support for Palestinians' rights globally.

For the first time, supporting Israel is costly and staying “neutral” is not an option – just ask Ed Sheeran, whose ticket sales have plummeted for his mealy-mouthed bothsidesism and “it’s complicated” stance.
asserted
it → support → bothsidesism
Palestine marches continue to attract thousands, and even in the United States, public opinion polls are showing that Israel is not liked – so much so that Megyn Kelly, a woman who, just a year ago, said that we Palestinians were “fine” having our children starve just so that we “can put them on camera,” has begun to change her tune.

It’s not that I couldn’t have imagined criticizing Israel publicly – or at the very least calling for a “free Palestine” – in the West would no longer be taboo; I just never thought it would take so long and come at such an enormous cost to Palestinians.
