Israel was formed after the anti-Semitic English decided they wanted to get rid of the Jews in their empire so they issued the Balfour Declaration to create a settlement in Palestine and declared the land Terra Nullius and English soldiers massacred the inhabitants of thr land. Those inhabitants were Muslim and Jewish and Christian. After Jews began settling the land defined by the Balfour Declaration, eventually it came to pass that a Westphalian state became a goal for some. The designation of when some group of people constitute a legal state in the eyes of the European empire has a long and racist history, with all the European chauvinism that entails, like withholding statehood until specific European behaviors were adopted. The project to convert the settlement into a state had a lot of traction with the Third Reich because it would accelerate getting Jews out Europe. A lot of political support for and a lot of money for creating a state came from the Third Reich and Nazi-aligned elite.

Since then, we have had a state of Israel, founded on anti-Semitic mass murder by English colonial forces of Jews, Christians, and Muslims (because Arabs are "uncivilized" you see), and the slow destruction by the Israeli state and its settler colonists of the lives of the people who were living there before the English invaded. The entire area has been under occupation for over a century at this point and it's telling that there still is no official European recognition of the original inhabitants as a state.

Then of course it gets complicated. There have been half a dozen revelations that show Netanyahu and members of his cabinet explicitly supported Hamas and militant activity in the occupied territories. Literally Netanyahu asked Arab heads of state to fund and support Hamas. He was using a technique that the USA perfected - blowback. By creating conditions that cause your weaker enemy to strike, you can trigger your pre-conceived legal regimes to support an invasion that otherwise they wouldn't. Israel continues to say the reason it expands, imprisons, and murders is because their weaker, contained enemy is lashing out, while simultaneously deliberately creating the conditions for that lashing out to occur, and they're doing it because they know legally they don't have the right to just invade and wipe these people out unless those people get violent.

This blowback strategy, by the way, is a state-level extension of agents provocateur, where the cops send a plainclothes officer into a protest and then that officer starts violence, which gives the cops the legal cover they need to break up the protest violently. Those cops in the USA, by the way, are trained by the Israeli military. This sort of thing is not new. When the USA occupied The Philippines, they needed to develop a new form of military policing to control the islands. That form was then brought back to the USA when the first state police brigade in history was formed in Pennsylvania, explicitly because local cops were starting to resist strike busting orders when it meant fighting their neighbors.

So anyway, yes, Israel is the problem here, but really, it's Europe. Israel would never have been a problem if the anti-semites in Europe weren't trying to find a way to get rid of all the European Jews and decided that they should create a Jewish concentration settlement on the blood and lifeless bodies of non-Europeans (Jews and Muslims and Christians). The USA now carries the torch of the long history of European imperialism, and being a Euro-centric state, I have no problem saying that the USA is the ultimate problem in all of these conflicts as it represents the pinnacle of the European project. And it is the pinnacle, because this is the century of the fall of that project.
