Rabbi Akiva (?), once at a beach, saw a skull...
Power abuse calls for power abuse. Here, an ex-Mossad mefaked is eventually murdered, given that he never apologizes for abusing his power. I am not sure whether as a sound "morale" is stands up. However, several thoughts could be explored:
1) The movie plot is punctuated with sirens. The Holocaust memorial day, the soldier memorial day, etc. Complete devotion to these symbols is observed. However, these symbols evoke a national unity, a sense of mission and brotherly respect that could be, finally, just a myth. Or were they evoked exactly to provoke you and I, in order to pose the rhetorical question: "are these only empty symbols"?
2) Impotence and outburst goes hand in hand. His (Michael) sexual desire is recovered as he is haunted by the mob. Conversely, one may think as terrorists' acts are close to impotence feelings.
3) Mob emergence is strongly related to States that rely on opaque power structures. We see it in Russia, why not in Israel? Sheer confidence in the State of Israel, as "social attachment" might encumber rationality, after all.
