Yup, despite the fact that they assassinated almost every journalist in Gaza, don't let international journalist to go in independently, and the media is overwhelming repeating their talking points, people are finally seeing the true nature of Israel that it is and has been since it's inception.
Before its inception really. Have to remember King David hotel and all that.
true, Iran has never assassinated anyone:

Israel killed a lot more people in the King David hotel bombing than Iran has in its entire history per your list. Iran also seems to go after its dissidents. Israel doesn't care if you're Israeli, Palestinian, Iranian, British, American, Syrian, etc..
Its absolutely clear which is the destabilizing force for the region. Its a testament to Israeli control of media that anyone thinks otherwise.
You’re aware that Israel didn’t exist at the time of the King David Hotel bombing, right?
Oops.
You’re aware the Irgun bombed the hotel? Jewish terror groups are the first terror groups in the area. They brought terror to the region
The formation of the Jewish militias were a direct response to escalating violence against Jewish communities during the early 20th century, notably after the 1920 Nebi Musa riots, the 1921 Jaffa riots, and the 1929 Hebron massacre. The Muslims weren’t innocent bystanders.
In 1909, an organization called Hashomer (the Guardian) was founded by Yitzhak Ben Zvi and David Ben-Gurion as the first paramilitary formation which raised the slogan “Judaea was lost by blood and fire and will rise again by blood and fire.”
The Arab population felt threatened as early as the 1880s with the arrival of the first aliyah. The Arab population in the Palestine region began protesting against the acquisition of lands by the Jewish population. As a result, the Ottoman authorities banned land sales to foreigners in 1892. Clearly, tensions were already high.
Here's a link to an archived newspaper article dated April 18, 1908 which described a riot in Jaffa that led to the hospitalization and injuries of 13 Jews. The Arabs tried to burn down the hotel they were hiding in.

Attacks on Jewish communities rose even more following the 1908 Young Turks Revolt. The Hashomer formed the following year in response to the ongoing violence. The Hashomer itself never numbered more than 100 members. They eventually fell out of favor with settlements for their policies and were replaced by the Haganah.
There was no single Zionist stance toward the local Arab population and no unified plan to push the Arabs out by force. Rather, views differed markedly across the movement. Case in point Theodor Herzl, one of the early thought leaders, did not foresee any conflict between Jews and Arabs. Herzl wanted to win over non-Jewish opinion for Zionism. He thought a rising economic tide would lift all boats. He imagined a society where Jews and Arabs could coexist peacefully, with Arabs enjoying equal rights and improved living standards.
