Come on. Geopolitically, Israel is an important pillar.
The V-Dem Democracy indices ranked in 2024 Iraq, Israel, Mauritania and Tunisia as the Middle Eastern and North African countries with the highest democracy scores. The Economist Group's Democracy Index rated in the region Israel as the only "flawed democracy" and no country as "full democracy" for year 2023.

If Israel were really committed to democratic ideals, they would either make all Palestinians equal citizens of the state (currently Israel, which would presumably be renamed “Palestine” the next day), or, more realistically, they would allow the Palestinian Territories to become an independent state, rather than keeping them permanently occupied and subject to Israeli military law.
on the other hand, the situation in so-called palestinian territories is completely different. Gaza strip was officially annexed by Egypt, West Bank was officially annexed by Jordan - so the official government would be these countries, and if we're talking about Apartheid, then it would be committed by these countries.
Near the end it goes into percentages of which counties Jews moved to and why during their immigration. A good portion of the UK was antisemitic, along with a number of other countries, and didn't want them moving to their country.
UK colonized part of Palestine at the time and pushed Jews to move there. Only the most devoted that wanted to be closer to their religious holy land went because the only work at the time was farming. Ones that wanted to maintain living off their crafts; acting, music, writing moved else where.
UK's antisemitic view actually help create Israel and push for the Zionist movement.
One of the most surprising aspects is that a number of Jewish immigrants actually supported fascism and told themself that it just was not implemented right. It wasn't until the 1960s when the views changed to fascism is bad.
Warning, the book is very dry and goes into detail of what happened to famous actors, writers, and musicians.

The attention economy has been hijacked to manipulate people
This statement seems to imply that the attention economy and manipulation are somehow separate things. The attention economy IS people manipulation.
Although if i think about it, that doesnt need to "trade" in attention. You can just put art out there for the sake of creativity. Trading in attention does imply utilizing it for commercial gain. How else would that be done other than manipulation? (Asking non-rhetorically)
Seems something very deteimental to society that the free market will encourage. So a good case for regulation to step in
