I agree that this has gone on too long, like insanely way way way too long. This has been a genocide for decades but the international community has been very slow and weak in their reactions to anything from Israel and have allowed truly reprehensible things to go unpunished.
As for the any day now thing, yeah, it is starting to have an impact. Pressure is building fairly rapidly compared to the past decades and now Israel is being ostracised in many spaces. People are refusing to participate if Israel is welcomed, just like what happened to SA. Israeli products are not being purchased, just like with SA. Recognition of this as a genocide has been increasing, just like the recognition or apartheid in SA. Statehood for Palestine is being recognised by a bunch more countries, including allies of the USA which has previously managed to protect Israel from this, and this is again similar to the kinds if political change around SA at the end of apartheid.
Is this the same as SA? No. Are there similarities? Yes, absolutely. I'm not saying this is all good and any day now it will all flip. I am saying the likelihood of change within 6 months has never been as high as now.
