Sport may be a blunt tool of social change, but it’s time to take a stand against Israel | Jonathan Liew

Probably you already know what this is. Probably before you read a word of it, you decided what it was, where you stand on it, how you’re going to feel about it. The headline, there’s your first clue. Maybe you recognised the name of the writer and drew your own conclusions. And of course there’s the Guardian masthead at the top, the world’s leading bat‑signal for wet liberals, so already there’s a self‑selecting audience there.

Or maybe you came via a social media link that already told you what to expect. Necessary, vital, powerful. Great piece by so-and-so. A shocking antisemitic screed by an unashamed Jew-hater. Sides are taken. Feelings are felt. Minds are not changed.
