To understand Israel you must understand why it is not a nation.
A nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture.
A nation is formed only as a result of lengthy and systematic intercourse, as a result of people living together generation after generation.
But we should look more closely at the economic.
The settler colonies of Britain were founded and became nations in their own right during an earlier era of capitalism, mercantile and then industrial capitalism. Israel, however, is quite unique in being conceived during the last era, imperialism, i.e. finance capitalism.
Capitalism knows two historical epochs of the nation, first the awakening of national life and national movements, the struggle against all national oppression, creation of nation states and nationhood. Then, imperialism enforces relations between nations, destroys national borders, creates the international unity of finance capital, of economics, of politics, science, etc. It is the strangulation of all sovereignty, it is the death of nations.
Understood this way, Israel is the antithesis of a nation. The imperialist nations such as Britain have organically developed from feudalism, to capitalism and advanced to imperialism, yet are bound by the limitations of history and context.
Israel by contrast is the pure conception of imperialism, entirely rootless, utterly cosmopolitan, and therefore it is entirely appropriate it is born from the rootless and cosmopolitan plantation of Jewish peoples from Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas in Palestine.
Being the pedigree child of imperialism is to not be restrained to the boundaries of national territories, or national economic life. Israel is international, Zionism is internationalism.
As such, Zionism is best understood as the most organised section of imperialism. It is the concrete manifestation of the international unity of finance capital, and Israel is merely it's nexus.

This serves one purpose for two reasons. To train translators A) for an occupation of rump Ukraine, and B) so British bureaucracy can manage a flood of Ukrainians into Britain from rump Ukraine.
Proud to announce that students in England will be able to study Ukrainian at GCSE.
It’s a chance for pupils to explore Ukraine’s rich culture and history and, for the Ukrainian community to remain connected to their heritage.
This is another step in our enduring support for Ukraine as part of the 100 Year Partnership 🇺🇦🇬🇧

COWARDS for not dying for consumerism.
COWARDS for not dying for corporations.
COWARDS for not dying for capitalism.
It's not our country, it's theirs.

You have given Ukraine tens of billions you treacherous scum, then spit on the British people by throwing mere crumbs.

Profit is privatised, debt is nationalised.
The people pay, the parasites prey.
The money lenders have to keep lending, to keep raking in interest, only to carry on lending... Ever hungry for more.

When the British regime talk of interning anti-war activists, this is what they mean.

Fear mongering, demoralisation and despair are tools of the regime to disarm the people, as hope is the genesis of organising to end the regime.
