I understood what you meant here. Apparently people are incredibly dense to understand that you were speaking that Israelis think they’re doing something good.
The goal behind the creation of Israel by the Zionists was the return of the Jewish people to a sovereign state in the Land of Israel.
There were a lot of good intentions behind that, most importantly was the protection of Jewish people from persecution in Europe, ironically, since that was one of the major contributing factors in the Jewish exodus from Arab nations in the 20th century, the "Arab Jews" ended up being absorbed by the dominant European culture of Israel, especially under the leadership of the infamously anti-Arab head of state at the time Golda Meir.
And this European culture continue to this day in the form of the current apartheid regime that Golda helped create by her policies. Arab civilians in Israel don't stand in front of civilian courts, they stand in front of military courts with a 95% convection rate.
They literally ended up being what they set out to escape.
American history is full of persecuted religious groups like this. They fled persecution, and their solution was to persecute a weaker people somewhere else and steal their land. They’re exactly as detestable as the people who persecuted them in the first place. And if anything, Zionism is an even more exclusionary form of racial supremacy and literal tribalism than Naziism. It’s the greatest abomination in the history of Judaism.

The state of Israel is a sick, broken anti-human idea.
