Yes, but the fact is that only of a certain political slant (media outlets and audience members) single out Israel while virtually ignoring the numerous human rights violations performed by Arab nations, or virtually every nation, including the stateless PLO.

We get reports of that nature too it's disproportionately reported but hardly anyone hears about Price Tag attacks.

Or the Jews who don't like the state of Israel. The most of extreme of which attack Israeli Jews almost as much as settlers attack Arabs in the occupied states.

Israel is like the UK and Japan, a US fiefdom, in a potential rival region.If anyone is too vocally critical about it someone Godwins themselves.

Israel like Saudi Arabia is pretty much given a free ride by the West. If a non-allied state were to suddenly seize a piece of land from a neighbour on the pretext that it was always theirs there would be some cross words... I'd imagine...
