Israel is part of the West, which is part of its difficulty in the Mideast but is also part of the reason that most Americans will support it.
A fight over funding for foreign wars is pitting President Biden's commitment to sending aid to both Ukraine and Israel against an increasingly anti-war Republican cohort that wishes to support just Israel. That faction, led by new House Speaker Mike Johnson, managed to get a bill passed in the House approving $14 billion for Israel's war against Hamas but no more funding for Ukraine's fight against Russia.
For many years, I've been critical of Israel's policies on the West Bank and the way that a certain pro-Israel enthusiasm has shaped U.S. foreign policy in the region more broadly. Both Israelis and Palestinians have reasonable claim to the lands of the expired Palestine mandate. Rather than any notion of abstract justice, the current situation is explained by the fact that Israel has long been the more militarily effective party.
