RE:
Israel least peaceful countries.

Just like any other country, Israel has its rediculous and extremist views.
These are Israel’s Borders
(COMMENT)
The moderate majority in Israel knows that suggesting such thinking as a hidden agenda for the political development and growth of Israel is counterproductive in terms of regional peace and security. But, I don't think that anyone with their gray-cells still intact would actually give this proposal any credence.
But the danger here is that there will always be those anti-Israel strings that will, sometime in the future pickup this published view and use it as evidence of the threat Israel poses to its adjacent states. This is not so dissimilar to the
(as an example) the use of phrase "colonial project" that some anti-Israelis pull-up from a century ago as evidence of Israel's future intentions.
This is nonsense and no Israeli in their right mind would take this as anything other than the ravings of a very few extremists and radicals with no real support.

I think this branding as "extremists" comes from a basic ignorance regarding what is actually being envisioned, and the context of this point of view, or what it actually means in practice in a wider framework.
Some 100 years ago, the mere thought of Israel actually gaining independence sounded outright impossible and extreme even among Jews themselves, with many great nations predicting eventual dire consequences for even attempting that, up to '67, when Israel was already independent for 2 decades, and yet all of them were proven wrong, with history taking a completely opposite direction in favor of Israel, actually fulfilling beyond any doubt some major Biblical predictions to the letter, and still proceeding.
Who would've imagined that after 2000 years of total subjugation and a nation literally burnt into ashes, a Rabbi running with a Torah scroll with a handful of soldiers would eventually liberate Jerusalem and blow a Ram's horn at Mount Zion.
While it may sound somewhat shocking to the average observer, the leaders of Israel and the biggest Jewish communities in the diaspora, already then suggested taking Damascus when Israeli tanks stood at 60km away from it, with little force that could push them back during those days. Not some typical poster extremists, but much respectable figures not only in Jewish community but also among world nations. It didn't sound extreme then, just hard to believe.
Today they predict that moving an embassy to Jerusalem or Jews praying on Mount Zion (on the Mount not the Western Wall) would end the world in weeks...and yet, in spite of all the noise sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, while just recently there was a record number of Jews ascending the Mount and, yes actually praying there without it even reaching global news.
Seeing all that become reality in such short time against all odds, how it fulfills much of what the Torah predicts, along with shuttering all the threats thrown at Israel from every direction, and especially in light of the constant irrational threats and attacks proceeding when Israeli governments try to align with and appease the world nations' demands - leads many to a conclusion that doubting and objecting those predictions, abstaining from acting on them, rather to be THE extreme point of view.
Now back to the vision - to understand it in the correct context, unlike the wars of '48-'72, where Israel had no choice but to battle on the ground, it's based on a rather different approach we see as well proceeding for the past decade or so - a trend of normalization and even cooperation, with the nation dwelling in Zion taking a leading position in the whole region in relationship to their Arab neighbors in the continent.
To help grasp this direction, and the underlying collective archtypes being brought forth, one has to learn about the burial process of Abraham Avinu A"H, the forefather of Israel and the original Ishmaelites.
It depicts the later who's been a sworn enemy of Yitzhak Avinu A"H, making Tshuvah ('repentance' for lack of better term in English) by giving Yitzhak A"H priority in the process, and respecting his birthright, as intended by their father.
This is not to say, it's all gonna be hugs and celebrations, but Ishmael eventually makes Teshuvah, sparks of which can be already seen today, in the extreme opposition of what is commonly expected.
There will be war, but it's not the war leading to the realization of the promise, rather respect and submission to G-d and our common ancestor.
This I'm sure, currently may sound extremely unlikely to most.
Please show us where anyone stated it was the Palestinians who were responsible for the Hebron Massacre or collaborated with the Nazis
