Here's the thing. Do you think he is a good allegory for Israel?
The meaning in stories is not always what an author intends. It is always infused with what the viewer/reader brings to the story. The author may have approached this the way that ratbastid suggests but now that willravel and his life experience approaches the story, it changes its meaning. I may read the same story and get something entirely different out of it.
I don't get hung up on what the author intends.
And I agree with SF. Magneto isn't a villain per se. That's what's cool about the Marvel Universe. There are many shades of grey. Just like in the real world.
