I completely disagree. It all boils down to security for their borders.
They have been attacked in every way right from the start of their national history.
While I agree that things like Settlement construction have been outright stupid, everything else that we complain around is based on the fact that they are a tiny country with next to no natural security or defensive line getting attacked in multiple formats throughout their history.
Out of all of the nation states and terrorist organizations involved which ones have tried to trade land for peace? Who has broken more ceasefire agreements?
Israel isn't a exporter of terrorism to the same extent as Iran. The reason for the international sanctions is because Iran is in no way trustworthy with weapons grade nuclear material.
