This is Part 1. What follows here is the briefest overview.
Aid is the cornerstone of Israel's political economy.
It began in 1974. The aid-based statist Israeli regime that resulted from this has now sealed Israel's demographic destiny in irreversible, perhaps fatal decline. The peace process, although itself the creature of this decline was nevertheless embraced among Israel's less infatuated but still irresponsible advocates, Rabin particularly, as the only way to evade the worst consequences of decline. Many consequences were apparent before 1993. Of the more obvious and now unmistakable consequences, Arab irredentism based upon terror and war is not the worst.
