    Almost every

    A majority, but to say almost every is an exaggeration. There are lots of Israelis who were not born into the conflict but choose to migrate into it. That said they tend to move in from places that have an antisemitism problem like the US and Ukraine, and in the case of Ukraine there are obviously additional factors for leaving, so I find it hard to blame individuals though they are fueling a colonial project even if they don't vocalize support for it.

      Fair point. I put the immigrants into the "born into the conflict" category, because they, too, didn't create the conflict to begin with. But you are right, they willingly moved into the situation, for whatever reason that made sense to them.
