> The author argues that Israel’s election may change the government’s face but not its policies towards Palestinians. They say candidates in both the governing and opposition blocs support continued restrictions on Palestinian freedom, West Bank settlement expansion and destruction in Gaza, and argue that Israeli society has normalised these actions. Real political change, the author says, can only come from outside.
