you seem to take a pretty grim view of the Israelis and of their neighbours. I suspect the Israelis are no more or less genocidal than any other nation. They have the safety of nuclear weapons which means they will never face an all out invasion by any of their neighbours. None of their neighbours would relish the certainty of nuclear annihilation I'm quite sure.
If only these same neighbours also had a nuclear deterrent, they too wouldn't have to constantly fear invasion or attack from Israel. Iran being a fine example. Israel and the West constantly talk up the "threat" posed by Iran whilst at the same time threatening to bomb or invade them. I have never heard Iran’s leaders threaten to bomb or invade Israel except in self defence.
The only violence Israel faces comes as a direct consequence of them carrying out an ongoing military occupation of another people and their land. This is the same violence the British faced when they occupied the same piece of land. I am quite sure that when the occupation ends the violence will end with it.
