This is quite a useful analysis. My underlying thought however is only reinforced by the history since 1948: Israel is of no use to the world, and only useful to those interested in murder, domination, and spying. How long can a country continue like this?
I really enjoyed it. I was thinking about how Iraq under Sadam survived the Iraq-Iran war. How Iraq was not only one of the richest, powerful, and highly educated country in world. How Iraq was not only destroyed by Western and Arab countries led by the US but also lost its brains by a series of assassinations of its scientists, academia, etc most probably by the Israelis. Saddam was a powerful presence and was considered a threat to Israel and had weapons that had reached occupied Palestine to hit Israeli cities.
Saddam was absolutely in the Israeli crosshairs. Iraq was one of the 7 countries on the Clean Break list. During the Iran-Iraq war he was useful to to the Americans, until they turned on him.

As long as murder, domination and spying are useful to the Empire, which is a long time, I guess.
