Everyone wants peace and safety on their own terms. It's not a virtue to remove all context from your analysis of the situation.
The overwhelming majority of Isealis want to maintain a system of violent apartheid that benefits them explicitly based on their ethnicity, and be insulated from any consequences. Some of them might be sad about the war crimes their army commits in a daily basis, but almost none are doing anything about it. Their victims have been successfully isolated by the world's largest superpower and its network of corrupt client states.
So yes, in that situation, "defensive" warfare technologies for Israel are clearly a bad thing.
