As unintelligible as Genocide Joe's speeches are today, think long and hard about what he says in this video. He is very clear and he is absolutely right. He doesn't talk about defending Judaism, protecting Jews and the right of Jews, in particular Arab Jews to live in this region that they have lived in for thousands of years. He is defending US capitalism's political and economic interests in the region. He is defending US capitalism's colonial outpost there. He is defending Zionism.
The British had the same view about Hong Kong. That important colonial outpost of British capitalism was signed over to Britain in Perpetuity. This term, according to my dictionary, means, "the state or quality of lasting forever". The British meant it. A ruling class always considers its rule and the system that birthed it is eternal. But history put that issue to rest as British colonial power declined and China's rose. Hong Kong is back as a part of China.
If we learn anything from history it's that the only thing constant is change.
