I mean, they invented a religion that places them as God’s chosen people, with a history of genocides and claiming regions backed up by that god. They wrote their stories as the victors and somehow still manage to sound like the bad guys.
Psychopathy was probably rife in the 12’tribes and I wouldn’t be surprised if it started with their dad, Jacob the maid fucker. Actually, probably his granddad, Abraham, the guy willing to kill his son to please god.
Either way, it’s been like this for centuries and don’t expect the country to suddenly change any time soon. The divine claim to the “land of milk and honey” has been their long-time casus belli for annihilating entire cities and civilisations + now with US protection!
I think most don’t, and even in Judaism it’s the more ethno-nationalist (i.e. Zionist) adherents that believe it. Christian nationalists and evangelicals do, but I don’t think Protestants or Catholics do. And outside of Abrahamic religions, like Hinduism, at most it’s kind of a “we’re right you’re wrong but idgaf”, unless again you’re getting into Hindu ethno-nationalism, but then the religion is just an excuse for facism and genocide, which brings us back around again.

Israel != Judaism
Israel is a British/American colonial project, not a religious thing
Can you name a single religion whose creators didn’t?
