Just what is it that the Israelis have on them.
It can't just be votes from the Jewish diaspora.

A mix of years of conditioning and selection (the Despatches programme about the activities of the pro-Israel lobby in the UK will be fifteen years old next year), and probably some crazier things of the Epstein kind. The complete lack of knowledge that the majority of the political class has plays a part as well.
 
I think I've posted this before but Peter Turchin studies history using mathematical models. He looks at various past instances of near-societal collapse (French Revolution, US Civil War, Russian Revolution, Ming-Qing transition, etc. etc.) and finds which variables are common; he then looks at which societies have combinations of these variables to project future collapse. Historians tend to hate him as they think history has too many particulars to be used to predict "future history" so to speak. I think it is an interesting approach. Note: one of the predictors of political instability is the overproduction of elites, in one case measured as folks with a 4-year Uni degree (bachelor's degree) but in other analyses it is simply the number of folks who have some expectation of privilege and notoriety--he claims this is particularly problematic when there are too many "elites" vying for political power--they come into conflict with each other and vie for attention by doing/saying outlandish things. A lot of this is documented in his most recent book "End Times." He's not trying to be doom-n-gloom, rather, because he focuses on societal collapse, his research won't have much of a positive outlook.

He wrote this in 2010 and it is not too far off the mark for the USA, given the insurrection...

That programme is an eye opener to a scandal that has obviously been going on for years.
It's pure corruption.
Funding of the political parties is in serious need of reform.
Also before the next election the electorate should be questioning the candidates as to where they stand with regard to CGI or LFI.
