This is an intentional Israeli strategy. It's called the Dahiya doctrine. Google it. "The Dahiya doctrine (also spelled Dahya or Dahieh) is an Israeli military strategy that involves using massive, disproportionate force and targeting civilian infrastructure to pressure hostile governments or non-state groups." @IndJewishVoices @JewsSayNo @jvplive

Christian Zionism began more than a century before Jewish Zionism. Much of Jewish Zionist ideology is taken from it. As early as 1585 Reverend Francis Kett, a Christian from Cambridge, published a book called "The Glorious and Beautiful Garland of Man’s Glorification Containing the Godly Misterie of Heavenly Jerusalem," where he mentions the “Jewish national return to Palestine." In 1609, the English Anglican priest, Thomas Brightman, wrote a pamphlet called "Apocalypsis Apocalypseos," describing the process of the Jews’ “return” to the Holy Land and their conversion. In it he called for creating a Jewish state in Palestine for the prophecies of his religion to be fulfilled. He said only if this happens would England be blessed by their god. (He also predicted the conversion of the Jews to Christianity in the year 1650.) In 1621 a member of the British Parliament, Sir Henry Finch, published "The World’s Resurrection or The Calling of the Jews. A Present to Judah and the Children of Israel that Joined with Him, and to Joseph (that valiant tribe of Ephraim) and all the House of Israel that Joined with Him," which called for the Jews to invoke their rightful claim to the Promised Land, re-establish themselves there, and convert to Christianity. In 1649, Joanna Cartwright and her son Ebinezer, English Puritan Christians who lived in Holland, petitioned the English Parliament of Oliver Cromwell to allow Jews into England (all Jews were expelled from England by King Edward in 1290 and prohibited from returning), so that England, with help from Holland, could then transport the Jews to Palestine, where they needed to be according to their interpretation of Christianity. In 1655 Paul Felgenhauever wrote that there would be a “permanent return of the Jews to their own country eternally bestowed upon them by G-d through the unqualified promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." The Danish pietist, Holger Paulli (1655-1714), professed the belief that the Jewish national return to the Holy Land was a requirement for the Second Coming of Jesus. He even lobbied the kings of England and France to conquer Palestine from the Ottomans and give it to the Jews to establish a national homeland there.
