What does Israel want?

Answer 1

Hezbollah wants Israel to stop existing. In the ideal Hezbollah world-vision, all of the Israeli soldiers would put down their weapons and the "righteous" Hezbollah jihadists would massacre and brutalize the Israelis as they proceeded to "liberate" the land. It is unclear whether they would also murder the Jewish civilian population or if they would "only" resort to humiliating them as second-class citizens quarantined in ghettos.

Answer 2

The Israelis are the citizens of the country of Israel. Most of them simply want to work a job and come home to raise their kids in peace.

If there is something in particular that you wish to know about what Israelis are or think, you need to ask a more directed question.

Answer 3

To exist peacefully. It made this clear in its Declaration of Independence in 1948, but was promptly and repeatedly attacked.

Palestinians can move fearlessly throughout Israel and the surrounding region. Israelis, however, dare not enter many Palestinian areas, for fear of car-theft and lynching.

Israelis need to fence in their schools and post guards for fear of terrorist attacks. The entire populace is in a constant state of alert. They need to check everyone's bags not only at airports, but at schools, hospitals, train stations, shopping malls, sports events, theaters, museums, etc., since there have been hundreds of terrorist attacks at such venues. There are successful and unsuccessful terrorist incidents every day of the year. Even synagogues have been sprayed with gunfire (January 2015).

Israel finds itself in the untenable situation of having its civilians constantly under threat and under attack, while at the same time remaining under unequaled and unbalanced scrutiny by the media and by foreign governments. Israel contorts itself in its efforts to avoid killing Arab civilians, but is viciously denounced internationally when there are collateral deaths.

In 2006, thousands of Hezbollah rockets rained down on Israel; and the same happened in 2014, courtesy of Hamas.

Hamas's founding charter calls for the complete destruction of Israel.

Israel continues to suffer economically because of the Arab boycott.

Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Bolivia, Brunei, Chad, Comoros, Cuba, Djibouti, Guinea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Nicaragua, Niger, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, and Yemen.Many European countries, despite their ties with Israel, are heavily biased against it.
