Shifting Alliances (0:00 - 3:43): Using UN voting records, the video contrasts the broad Western coalition that supported Israel in 2011 with the significant number of nations—including key European allies—that have distanced themselves or voted against Israel in recent years.
The European Pivot (4:10 - 6:15): The video highlights how recent conflicts, such as the war in Gaza and the regional escalation involving Iran in 2026, have led nations like Belgium, Spain, and France to implement trade warnings, airspace closures, and defense cooperation suspensions.
Changing Public Opinion (8:00 - 11:32): Fisher argues that traditional justifications for supporting Israel—rooted in post-WWII history, Holocaust guilt, or a shared sense of democracy—are fading. Younger generations, in particular, hold increasingly negative views of Israel, which is putting domestic pressure on Western political leaders.
Israel's Strategy (12:18 - 14:55): Israel has been preparing for potential Western decoupling by building domestic military autonomy, pursuing peace deals with regional neighbors, and seeking new allies among right-wing, illiberal governments. However, the video notes that this "other friends" strategy is proving fragile as many of those leaders lose power.
Conclusion:
While the US and other major powers continue to provide significant military and diplomatic support, Fisher concludes that this coalition is becoming more tenuous. He suggests that the current isolation of Israel’s government reflects a trend of "happening slowly, then all at once," where long-term geopolitical shifts are accelerating.

The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night.

The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. The decimation of Gaza’s healthcare system including the detention of healthcare workers is central to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Amnesty awarded Gaza: Doctors Under Attack at the Amnesty Media Awards last week. The work of everyone involved in making this documentary and fighting for it to be broadcast shows the importance of journalists willing to speak truth to power.
