Most of the "credible existential threat" to Israel is of Israel's own making. They have supported illegal settlements in Palestinian territory (the West Bank and Gaza Strip), attacked Palestinians, and treated them in a way that has been labeled "apartheid."

They never ask the Lieber and Stoller question sung by the Coasters: "why's everybody always pickin' on [us]?" I agree that the Jews needed a safe homeland after WWII. They got it, and lots of support from the US. They botched it.
