I'd be with you on that, except I don't think Israel is about survival of their own people. it is about survival of the Israeli government, and to do that they keep luring people (especially jews) in to be meatshields.
the Israeli government doesn't care about its people
you are correct, Israel did not invent Islam or jihad, and it certainly is not the pioneer of genocide (though it loves to partake).
However, the fact remains that Israel supported hamas's rise to power, Netanyahu is on record stating this. Israel is also responsible for establishing itself on top of the holy land, which has been a bloodbath for basically all of recorded history. Israel is further responsible for resettling Israeli civilians in Palestinian controlled territory, essentially homing them inside The hornet's nest.
finally, we have recently witnessed the amazing effectiveness of Israel's iron dome, having shot down the majority of Iran's missiles. thanks to their geography and their politics, Israel is probably home to one of the most advanced anti-missile and anti projectile systems in the world. So where the fuck was that system on October 7th when Israel was invaded by fucking parachuters going 1/100th the speed of a ballistic missile? The October 7th attack stinks like 9/11, and I would not be surprised at all if Israel knew the attack was happening and chose to let it as an excuse to invade Gaza.

They care a lot about PR. That's why there are so many crack downs on "anti-Semitism" and the forced sale of TikTok.
who do you think put people in the crosshairs of Hamas in the first place? who do you think supported Hamas's rise to power?
