The history of Zionism is discussed, with Michael Yon claiming that early Zionist leaders cooperated with various European powers to facilitate Jewish migration to Palestine. He uses the metaphor of Pinocchio to describe "puppets" that eventually turn on their masters. In the context of unconventional warfare, he notes that the "demobilization" phase is often the most dangerous for the forces involved, as the interests of the sponsors and the proxies diverge.
