Having state enforced national narratives of unjust persecution (towards Israel, not just real historical anti-Semitism), blaming others for everything going badly, dehumanizing adversaries etc is bound to create this type of almost delulu social narcissism. “I’m the greatest victim” is the textbook manifestation of vulnerable subtype of narcissism. I wouldn’t pathologize a whole society normally but the overwhelming support for the ongoing genocide means at least functionally inhibited or reduced empathy and we need to learn from this.
