Israel is a Western country that was essentially transplanted into the tribalistic Middle East and then became a strange hybrid of those things. The /pol/yps are a bit more on the mark than the leftists that some aspects of their behavior comes from the desert-people side of their society. But that's the reality of the Middle East. In your world, the man who shows restraint and diplomacy and making a deal in which both benefit is seen as a strong man. Over there, that's a sign of weakness. You've got to be really strong and show that you don't want to be messed with, otherwise everything goes to hell.
