The colonization is the only thing that really bound together Israeli history over the past 43 years.

Correct.

And any other issue can and will be mobilised by Israel to distract others from that reality.

Especially the Iran nuke issue. Iran are not remotely a threat, and never have been. Iran will not be attacked because the US will not permit it. The US will not permit it because the Chinese will melt down their economy if they do.

Energy security is as important to the Chinese as it is to the US. ie it comes first, second and third in their priorities.
