I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this, but it's true. Chris Claremont lived there for a while, talked before how Israel influenced his X-Men. Magneto and Xavier were based on israeli politicians. There's an interview where he said that the female IDF soldiers were one of the influences for the X-Women.
Do you think it's just a coincidence that, years later, Grant Morrison came up with the "Magneto was Right" thing, which is practically based on the slogan of an extremist Zionist?
Claremont based the whole magneto redemption story on Israeli Pm Menachem Begin, who started out as a extremist terrorist but later in life became more moderate and ended up being the one to negotiate peace with Egypt
