You Can’t Understand Israel Until You See This || Prof Jiang Xueqin #profjiangstyle #internationalrelations #internationalnews #globaleconomics #worldaffairs #GeopoliticalThinking #profjiangstyle You cannot understand Israel by looking only at headlines or conflicts. To understand Israel today—its decisions, resilience, and contradictions—you must see the deeper economic logic, institutional design, and survival mindset that shape its behavior. Right now, as global tensions rise, this understanding is more important than ever. In this video, I explain Israel calmly and analytically, not through emotion or ideology, but through structure. Nations, like individuals, act according to constraints, incentives, and long-term sustainability. When we examine Israel through economics, security logic, and institutional discipline, many actions that appear irrational suddenly become coherent. This is not advocacy. It is analysis—designed to help you see what is usually left unsaid.

Attend our event ‘Challenging the War Machine’ later this month: https://secure.declassifieduk.org/events Professor Avi Shlaim is a world renowned Israeli historian at Oxford University, but over two years of genocide in Gaza he was never invited for a TV interview by the BBC. The reason? Shlaim describes himself as an anti-Zionist Jew. The Oxford University emeritus professor believes Netanyahu’s government is ‘the most racist and belligerent’ Israeli regime so far and believes that it has made Israel the most unsafe place for Jews in the world. Shlaim has turned his back on the Jewish state – he was a proud Zionist and Israeli soldier in his youth – and now supports a one-state solution for Palestine and Israel. Shlaim also told Declassified co-director Mark Curtis about the influence of the pro-Israel lobby in British politics, and the deliberate conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism by Kier Starmer’s Labour Party. Avi Shlaim’s latest book is The Genocide in Gaza https://irishpages.org/product/genoci…
