The death of the nation-state has been announced innumerable times. Everything will be still functioning after its demise. Senates will legislate, the Treasuries will print money, etc. The State will die when cannot protect property, provide personal security, create a stable environment for breeding. According to those parameters, Israel is working better than most. It has shown that defends its sovereignty, protects its citizens and it is one of the best places for safe capital. Therefore we are getting more investments and more first-class people are trying to move here.
China is another contemporary State that offers similarly stable conditions. Yet only 150 years ago it was thoroughly looted by foreigners (Pic. the ruins of the Summer Palace). Life is not guaranteed.
For me, this is irrelevant. I am at the end of my long life and too old and weak to change anything.
