Atrocities, torture, human rights abuses, assassinations, espionage, starving, imprisoning and disposessing civilians, bombing hospitals and schools (with chemical weapons).... all are ways by which strong nations rob, exploit, subjugate, religiously and politically, and generally impose their will on weaker ones.
Israel has relatively recently entered that league table and is climbing rapidly, (though it has been involved in such abuses at least as far back as its involvement in the Shatila and Sabra massacres of refugees) It has some way to go to beat the champions, but it is getting there!
