I truly hope this isn't the norm with most Israeli people, as I am sure most alive would still have connections through relatives who suffered due to Nazi Germany an would have herd the stories. If this woman is the norm, sadly they have become their worst enemy. |
It's definitely not the norm with Israeli people, Settlers aren't the norm either. It's 500 - 750K settlers out of 9.4 million people in Israel, consisting of 7.2 million Jews and 2.1 million Arabs (82% Muslims, 9% Druze, and 9% Christians) An additional 5.7% (roughly 554,000 people) are classified as "others". This diverse group comprises those with Jewish ancestry but not recognized as Jewish by religious law, non-Jewish family members of Jewish immigrants, Christians other than Arabs and Armenians, and residents without a distinct ethnic or religious categorization.
Settlers are luckily in the minority, but are over represented in the government and currently the religious Zionist movement (representing 22% of Jews in Israel) hold the war cabinet hostage. By far the majority of Jews in Israel are not religious Zionists and simply want to live in peace with their neighbors.

However the memory of the holocaust has been weaponized and is used as a weapon of fear. "Never again" is what drives the current war. The media in Israel has convinced the people that they are fighting an existential war for survival. Watch that video above, it discusses a lot of what's going on in Israel amongst other things. Religious Zionism is the root cause of this long ongoing conflict:

“If you have your ‘why?’ in life, you can get along with almost any ‘how?,’ ” argued Friedrich Nietzsche. Does the same apply to societies seeking meaning to ensure their collective existence? This chapter submits that it does, engaging contemporary Israel. The author argues that the political pursuit of moral meaning amounts to existential legitimation, or “nomization,” which can boost the nation’s resilience but, if failed, may end in an impasse of meaning, a political absurd.
Israel has grown strong in many respects but existential fears, which have characterized Zionism from its onset, have not subsided. These existential fears and freedom—the realization of Zionism as but one solution to the modern Jewish condition—prompted Zionists to seek existential legitimation to the Jewish state. However, a growing sense that “the whole world is against us no matter what” has engendered the “Zionist absurd,” believing all Israel’s legitimation efforts are doomed, and thus substituting bad faith—essentialism, determinism, and fatalism—for freedom.
And now they literally are turning the whole world against them as a self-fulfilling prophecy...
