I'm old enough to remember when apartheid South Africa was a respectable nation. I became aware of apartheid in college in the 80s talking with a South African girl on the college tennis team. We had a huge number of international athletes at my school.

Her casual and overt racism was off-putting even to the other college students in very racist South East Texas.

As the 80s ended and the 90s began, South African apartheid became an "issue." Slowly and then all at once.

This was before the internet, social media, and smartphones with HD filming in the hands of most average people.

Back in the day, whatever didn't stay in the daily news disappeared pretty quickly. Those days are long gone. Israel cannot erase millions of videos and photos and 1st hand accounts of their daily war crimes.

The move from "slowly" to "all at once" is happening faster than with South Africa. Partly because of the technology and partly because Israel is committing genocide
