OK I have a theory

Israelis will almost never admit it, but they actually need the conflict - psychologically speaking. Like, I think if there was peace, there would be at least a good 10-20 years where Israelis had some kind of mass depression or malaise trying to recreate and reinvigorate their identity. Like, they could no longer be pushy and use the excuse "oh, well, we're at war, so this is how we are in everything" and get away with it. Logically, they would have to change in at least some of their attitudes and mentalities in life. I really do believe their will be peace in my lifetime, and so I like to project in my mind what may happen in the post-conflict era. What are your thoughts?
