A very small but disproportionately genocideal, theocratic empire.
Thats incredibly wrong.
Israel is the only liberal democracy in the Middle East besides Turkey (and their Islamist Gov't isn't an improvement). Israel is a thousand times better than the other devious Muslim countries that surround it. I have enormous respect for their struggle to survive in a hostile land.
Lots of empires are 'better' subjectively, than those they dispossess and oppress. This does not change the fact that they are agressive, violent, warmongering empires.
