They're a very militarized society and have been surrounded by hostile governments and at war with "terrorists" basically since the state was founded. It's definitely not america mentality wise.

But additionally in recent years the propaganda has been exaggerated as a way to hold on to power, a favorite technique of the current government. I've been reading a book called "the netanyahu years" (it's on libgen) and it goes into some detail on his personal background and how he perfected these techniques.
