I'm unfamiliar with Israeli architecture and find most modern buildings to be a disappointing medley of hideous experimentation or generic monuments to cheap, rootless consumerism. There is no doubt that Europe produced the finest in times past, at least to my tastes. As far as something deeper, I don't know. Some of the most musically harmonious and emotionally evocative creations are directly attributable to Jews, in addition to endless garbage like the linked example. As one would expect of troubled artists and a troubled people. What I won't argue against is that they're partially responsible, especially in positions of power, for harming traditions that are beautiful and worth preserving, as is liberalism.
