Put plainly, Israel is aligning itself with an authoritarian wave sweeping Europe to legitimise its policies of genocidal warfare and democratic erosion, while Europe’s far right increasingly becomes normalised and mainstream.

I wonder if there’s some kind of doctrine devised by the early modern Israeli government that basically amounts to the only way to not let Jewish people be at the bottom of the boot again is to be the boot, and the Israelis have just been quietly working to emulate the Nazis as per that doctrine ever since?
Or its the classic victim/abuser cycle but replicated on a nation scale.
Or just arseholes being arseholes.
Why not all three?
Zionism itself essentially boiled down to using the tragedies faced by jews in order to borrow the boot of western nations until they had one of their own. It’s why the next most likely new homeland for jews after Israel was going to be the Nazi suggestion of Madagascar or the Italian suggestion of Ethiopia or Libya. It’s easy to oppress and make such compromises when the most strict way of teaching your religion states everyone besides you has no soul and you are going to divinely rule over them someday anyway.
