Just to clarify what "government" means, in this case ...
In 1923, Ze'ev Jabotinsky fully acknowledged that Zionism is colonialism. He predicted, based on the entirety of history, that the natives would fight said colonialism until the bitter end. He didn't care what would come of the natives, and claimed their colonialism was morally "good". Something that should be differentiated, is the colonialists can't ever really be "victims" of natives. Natives wouldn't be able to attack you, if your colonialist aggression hadn't put you there.
On top of the colonialism, Israel's next building block is terrorism, by groups like the Irgun and Lehi. They killed many Palestinian civilians, including children, even including Palestinian Jews (who opposed Zionism). Those terrorist groups were merged into the new nation's military and intelligence. Israelis elected Menachem Begin, terrorist leader of the Irgun, who bombed the King David Hotel, as their PM. Israelis, to this day, celebrate those terrorists as "heroes". They literally taught their neighbours that terrorism is a valid path to independence and statehood, that terrorists are heroes, and now cry that it's not, and they're not ... if Palestinians do it.
Israelis have been voting for their governments, since its inception. They hold some responsibility for its actions. Due to mandatory service, almost every single Israeli is, was, or will be, a militant. Israeli militants kill Palestinians, including children, on a regular basis. Israel has hundreds of thousands of reserve militants (valid military targets) "hiding" amongst civilians, using them as "human shields". Israel also has a policy of blaming the families of Palestinian militants, and unleashing collective punishment, but cries foul, if this is done to them.
That a Jewish nation is running an open air WWII style fascist ghetto, is just about the most vile thing, about Israel. Becoming the thing they fled, is a very dark part of history.

@josephpeeler5434 Any government involvement in the economy doesn't make it fascism, dumbass. Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, and others, were backed by business leaders, large land owners, and even royalty and nobles. Hitler promised his rich backers that there's be no real redistribution of wealth downwards. In fact, the wealth fascists seized from Jews, communists, socialists, unionists, etc., was redistributed upwards, to those rich backers. When those rich backers were worried about prominent party members who were calling for redistribution of wealth, Hitler, literally, killed them off, on the Night of Long Knives. Not only did Mussolini describe fascism as the "complete opposite of Marxian socialism" (non authoritarian stateless socialism), which makes it authoritarian hyper nationalistic capitalism, but he also described it as opposed to democracy. I don't recall FDR doing away with democracy, like the others, and right wingers keep calling past, and current, New Deals socialistic. Please don't tell me you're one of those utter morons who thinks fascism is a variation of some kind of socialism.

UBI is a good idea, but his methods for how to fund, and distribute, a permanent UBI were terrible. A VAT is specifically designed to NOT tax businesses in order to avoid double taxation. Without giant corporations paying into the dividend, as he falsely claimed they would, then they'd only get the benefits of the dividend being spent, funneling money to the very top faster than ever before. And the fact that some very poor people, especially some permanently disabled people on both SSI and SNAP, would be no better off, or even worse off, with his not having UBI stack with either, was nonsensical. Meanwhile, people making hundreds of thousands a year would have a bit more shopping spree, or vacation, cash.
