This is a scene from Lethal Weapon 2, a tentpeg blockbuster movie in which reps from the South African state are not only the villains but are immediately understood to be villains by our heroes simply by the fact that they uphold the values of the state.
Not until it's (even remotely) conceivable that a household name hero in a summer blockbuster will emphatically yell "free Palestine you dumb son of a bitch" are we anywhere near the level of ideological success in the west as apartheid activists had.
Yeah but that's 1989. I'm not under the delusion that Israel is going to end in a couple years. I guess more specifically, I'm wondering when did it become normal to be anti-apartheid. In the US that is.
