Nah, quite the opposite. American Jews act like this though (like everybody else in America). You will keep getting predictions wrong because you don't understand Israelis. If you don't understand your enemy, or how your enemy thinks, you're probably gonna lose.

Israeli culture is very blunt and aggressive. There are few niceties. Some people would hate it, like living in A Clockwork Orange. I only make that reference because they have a slang term "droogi" which comes from Russian.
The non-Jews who really get into Israel are people like Douglas Murray who likes that stuff and how militarized the place is. I think their main advantage is a mix of Western-style beliefs (like certain ways of organizing an economy, and investing in technology) with Eastern-style tribalism. They have larger families, secular ones too. The society is less atomized than Western societies. People know their neighbors and do things for them more.

I get not disliking Israel, or finding what they do criminal. But I am convinced that people who develop an obsessive complex about them are projecting something they don't like about themselves, or their own society, or something going wrong with their own lives or society onto them. That is what is fairly distinct about antisemitism. People often reveal something about themselves when they talk about the Jews. It's like circumcision, something missing. Something failing.
They do tend to run against the reigning morality of the day. Like you hear about this "does Israel have a right to exist" stuff in the U.S. which is intended as a tripwire to cancel people, but a big part of Zionism as it's practiced there is that Jews don't ask anyone's permission to exist. They don't care what the U.N. thinks.

>the leftist movement has died down considerably since the October 7 attack, but before that date you can find plenty of videos on YouTube which shows massive protests and rallies.

>Exactly Arabs and their retadred fans fail to realize how Israel was divided.
Israel was politically divided over Bibi and his judicial reform and a variety of other things, but it would've been a mistake to assume that those Israelis protesting Bibi wouldn't pick up arms in a war. Israel isn't like the U.S. or some other Western countries where people are as socially divided, not just politically divided. It might be because the majority of the population is Jewish so they have that tribal instict to fall back on, and it's a small country. Like how do you even have an urban/rural divide in such a place? But they fight each other about all kinds of things.
>Arabs treat Israel like a great shaytan that can only be defeated through divine intervention, but the moment they start treating it like a regular country the picture would be crystal clear.
I agree with this take.

>I can't keep the Jewish narrative straight.
NTA but I think the ADL is very cynical and hypocritical. The thing is, there's not a single Jewish narrative. It's always "the Jews are like this, like that" with you guys but it's often (imo) a projection of things you believe, but it doesn't per se have anything to do with them. For one, they're not Christians and so there's a different mentality. Jews also love to argue with each other so much it's exhausting. Also there are massive cultural differences between American Jews and Israeli Jews, like they have their own version of gopniks over there (satirical but basically this):

>At this point actual old blood Ashkenazis are a tiny elite aristocracy compared to the vast multitudes of Mizrahis, Arabs and random Slavic fake-Jews.
Yes this is actually-existing Israel:

You don't understand Israelis, calling them kike does not hurt their feelings, they don't give a fuckl and they hear way worse all the time from people who shoot missiles at them. They're not like American Jews who have panic attacks when they get confused at a sign that says "Free Parking" in West L.A. and think it's "Free Palestine." Think more the Russian-Jewish mafia and right-wing soccer ultras.
