Haaretz:
The world is starting to show its contempt for the post-Zionist right in Israel. Judgment Day has come.

"But the most interesting strategy is hitting Israelis in their wallets.
There is something degrading about it because it means that high-minded
ideology, hollow values and pretty words aren’t doing the job. But I
also suspect that it is the most effective means of them all. Certainly,
it is the fastest. When the American administration of George Bush Sr.
threatened to revoke Israel’s loan guarantees for integrating the large
wave of immigrants reaching the country in the early ‘90s, even the
hawkish Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir was pushed toward the
unprecedented recognition of the Palestinian people and the Madrid Peace
Conference in 1991 that laid the groundwork for the Oslo Accords."
