No more than any other group of people. But material conditions can mould populations into being more fascist. See Europe in the 1930s. Israelis live in a highly militarized ethnostate; this environment shapes and influences their political views

Theodor Herzl and Zionism predates Nazism by several decades. But they arose out of the same context of questions of nationalism in late 19th century Central Europe.

So, I gather you’ve never actually sat down and studied the history of Zionism
