If we remove the outside resistance, no, just as likely simply because of being of genocidal species.
If we don't, then being genocided yourself and becoming treated specially because of that does, yes.
First, because of being treated specially. Second, because of those likely to commit genocide supporting you to minimize their PR expenses, and thus your friends and allies being genocidal.
Israel's allies are like US and Germany, which, BTW, has made such notable apologetic actions and reparations only in case of the Holocaust, - they haven't done anything except the official apology in case of Herero genocide, and their stance on the Armenian genocide was just recognizing it without criminalizing denial, and with very little attention to German Empire's role in organizing it (basically German military advisors in the Ottoman Empire were involved in this as much as they were in actual warfare).
I don't think I need to say anything about US, even the political status of Native Americans in the US could be something better.
But Israel is also friendly with Turkey - Israel has the PR advantage of being a genocide survivor nation, and Turkey has a resources and strategic position advantage of unpunished genocide perpetrator nation. One needs the resources help, another needs the PR help. They satisfy each other's needs, and really a lot of basic goods in Israel are actually produced in Turkey. Even some military stuff.
Strangely enough it's the same with Germany - they are clutching at every opportunity to publicly support Israel, and wave that support against anything bad they do. "We are friendlier with Israel than you" is their indulgence against anything.
This is, of course, solvable in the balancing way - Israel's Holocaust PR should be universally shunned and condemned, their agent network investigated, exposed and controlled, and their military kicked out of Palestine, and Turkey should be kicked out with carpet bombings out of Western Armenia, Pontus, Assyria and Cilicia. It takes resources, like everything else. But the reward is huge for those of us not making money on suffering.
The problem is the psychopatic way geopolitics work currently. Peaceful West Asia, less corrupt\poor Latin America, less uneducated\poor sub-Saharan Africa could make our whole world far richer and pleasant to live in. But it would definitely change all the elites and ways of existence of currently powerful countries.
