No. We are paying more for gasoline because the price of oil is rising due to global demand, mainly brought on by China and India in the last decade. The rise in oil prices means that gasoline prices rise. The rise in gasoline and other transportation fuels are what causes 'daily product' prices to rise because the cost of manufacturing and transporting them costs more. As for Israel's decision of war with Muslim oil rich countries...Israel hasn't decided to go to war with any country and it won't initially be with all Muslim oil rich countries. Israel has threatened military action against Iran. The global tension with Iran has helped push up oil prices, but not by very much when compared to all other factors.

Most (99.99%) do not. Those few who do, do so for obvious reasons. In Israel, many of the taxes for car purchases are not levied on Mercedes Benz. This is because Mercedes are sold to Israel at low prices as part of the German reparations for the Holocaust.

One answer:No, they are not. The Iran-Israel situation is not responsible for gas prices. First, look at the political situation in that region: the leaders of the government of Iran have publicly announced their intention to wipe Israel off of the map. If that means that Israel has broken peace with Iran, then Israel's main action seems to be the action of existing as a country. I'm not sure that any country should be expected to consider the price of gas in the USA while deciding whether or not to continue existing. Additionally, it should be noted that it was Iran that broke peace with Israel in 1979, not the other way around. The Shah of Iran was an ally of Israel's and was Israel's primary supplier of petroleum prior to the Islamic Revolution. Therefore, it is Iran's action of breaking off peaceful relations with Israel that may have led to instability in the region and an increase in gas prices.Another answer:But it should also be noted that gas prices fluctuate, and they have done so for decades. The fluctuation of gas prices (sometimes they rise, sometimes they fall) has nothing to do with Israel and everything to do with supply and demand, as well as with the influence of world markets in our global economy; also, producers like Saudi Arabia will often boost the prices just because they can.
Answer 1No its because they're jewish.Answer 2Yes. Correct, people do not hate Israel for "destroying the peace" with oil-rich Muslim countries and for inflating oil prices. This is because most people are aware that Israel is not actually the cause of the problems cited or because people are aware that those problems do not actually exist.First, there was no peace in the Middle East before Israel. The Saudi Wars existed in the 1920s. There was the Iranian Revolution of 1925 which saw the Pahlavi come to power. There were the Circassian and Armenian genocides of the late 1800s and 1910s respectively. There were several pogroms of Jews in the Ottoman Levant in the 1800s and early 1900s. Additionally, since Israel's independence, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is responsible for less than 5% of Middle Eastern War deaths. Far more brutal have been the three Persian Gulf Wars, the Lebanese Civil War, Black September in Jordan, the three Yemeni Civil Wars, and the Anfal Campaign (Kurdish Genocide) in Iraq.Second, as to gas prices. the regular American is paying more for gas due to the War in Iraq and the decisions of OPEC concerning how much petroleum to produce. There is also pressure from India and China who are increasing consumption and driving up the price.

If you're a Westerner, you won't have a difficult time at all blending into Israel. Aside from the practice of bargaining for prices at shuqs (bazaars,) cultural expectations in Israel are more or less the same as in any Western nation. Of course, these practices may not apply to Arab and religious Jewish populations in Israel.
