Israel’s public face, sustained and propagated by a wealthy and powerful diaspora that has significant control over the media, insists that the country is the Middle East’s only true democracy, that is operates under a rule of law for all its citizens and that its army is the “most moral in the world.” All of those assertions are false. Israel’s government favors its Jewish citizens through laws and regulations that are defined by religion. It in fact now identifies itself legally as a Jewish state with Christians and Muslim citizens having second class status.

It is 80 years since the last global war. Technology and culture have advanced significantly since then. In the Second World War, it was the mastery of the air that proved decisive. Now it will be mastery of space. What took a thousand bombers to accomplish can now be achieved many times over with a single nuclear missile. But the rising escalation between the USA and China is but one of four simultaneous crisis facing modern capitalism, raising the prospect that capitalism is no longer in control of its own destiny.
