It’s fear. I don’t think they’re lying about why they are doing this, as absurd as it seems. They (being the administration, just to be clear) believe that they must wipe out Islam (and I guess Christianity) to prevent being genocided themselves. It’s a weird outcome of the Nazi genocide, that the attitude in Israel is basically “it wouldn’t have happened if I were there”, but the corollary to that is “because I’d do it to everyone else”.
That’s not how we live. I can’t plan to kill my neighbour because I’m reasoning that they’re planning to kill me (because I’m planning to kill them, after all). That’s insane.
Btw, that’s also the Nazi train of thought. That’s what “the great replacement” theory is about, that Jews are planning to dilute the white race or whatever, and the only solution is genocide. It’s a concocted fear.
