Crucially important analysis.

It shows how governments are rather powerless against Israel’s power.

Israeli power forms an intricate network of institutions comprising both public and private entities across the West, developed over a century. Those entities have generated an intricate set of technological and intelligence dependencies of the West on Israel, which cannot be quickly “uprooted” through governmental policy. This may well be the very reason for Israel’s de facto impunity (South Africa was much easier, as it lacked such a network). The powerlessness of governments means powerlessness of public opinion and action. It is crucial to acknowledge this for any chance of intensely thinking a real way out. Israel is not a nation-state. It does not possess recognisable borders. It is a different kind of beast and problem: a metastasising network drawing power all around it, taking over territory and money, and increasing its own power.
