That depends entirely on your perspective of the situation. There is the opinion that Israel has been the unwitting recipient of conflict since its inception and that all it wants is for the conflict to cease. There is of course the even more fatuous claim that every shred of violence in the Middle East is traceable back to Israel. What is clear is that while Israel has certainly had a strong hand in the conflicts it participated in, it takes two to tango.

the Enlightenment started about 1600 with the Scientific Revolution (SR) of Galileo,
Descartes and Newton.
SR's message of relativity, subjectivity and rationality clearly extended beyond
the scientific into the human.
Philosophers did not grasp a button of this message and deformed it,
paving the way to the anti-Enlightenment reaction of "idealist" irrational
balderdash culminating in the fatuous Great German Idealism, which in turn
lead to Nazism and Gulag.
It's by far too short a description of an enormous phenomenon and, if requested,
I can elaborate.

Theocracy is an UNLIMITED form of government because the theocrat is not constrained by the rule of law. The theocrat is perfectly capable of committing crimes that are prohibited by law by a process of self-exculpation. There is the counter-argument that theocracy is a limited form of government because the theocrat is held to account by divinities or by religious doctrine (even though he is unaccountable to the people). This is fatuous because theocrats are often able to redefine religious doctrines or parrot new words for the divinities that will exculpate them of what should be a crime.

Never. That practice is held up in special horror in the Torah, as an example of the practices of the surrounding nations and tribes that were strictly forbidden to the people of Israel for all times and all future generations.
To repeat: Never.
On a personal note: I urge you to go back and carefully check out the person, book, rumor, pamphlet, or whatever planted that idea in your mind. It is a dangerous lie called the "Blood Libel". There have been numerous Blood Libels throughout history, each as fatuous and baseless as the last.

A:
Some say that Left Behind is a good read, and the nuber of persons who have read the whole series suggests that it is addictive. But others say the series is "almost laughably tedious" or "fatuous and boring."
Some would want to read the Left Behind series to better understand Darby's "Rapture theology", which is featured in the books. The authors are avowed dispensationalists and LaHaye is also responsible for a number of related books placed in the non-fiction category, so one could suppose that this avowedly fictional series is designed to foster interest in the authors' theology.

The CHIMERA, often shown as grotesque or horrible, is simply DECADENT. One of the most fascinating creatures in literature, I will share it's story. It is a creature of fascination, and like a human child, it will BURGEON from the moment of birth, taking in all around it, struggling with it's infantile INEPTNESS, caused by it's clumsy digits as a small being. After a while, when they have explored for a time, a young chimera will become ABSTRACTED, sitting silently in one place for a period of time while pondering their new learning. Chimera parents are expecially HUMANE with their spawn, never believing them CULPABLE if they have done wrong. They will encourage the child, and are overly INDULGENT with the baby. After a period of three years, due to an ENTREATY with humans, the children are sent to work with the humans as labourers. Many chimera despise this time of their life, which consists of a decade of labour under what they see as FATUOUS humans, however many chimera will bond through ADVERSITY, and ultimately end their decade of service with great feelings of ADULATION towards the family they worked with. After this time, the chimera will return to it's family and live the rest of it's life where it was born, alongside their siblings and parents.
So... What do you think of that? Whew.
