So you’re saying that we should support the country with better internal politics regardless of foreign policy. But who’s to say that an oppressive foreign policy won’t make the country more authoritarian while the smaller country might become more democratic in their common struggle. What do you mean by “supporting” Israel, anyway? Have them keep building settlements in the West Bank? Stopping the violence in the long term might require a two-state solution with Israel giving up some of its ill-gotten territory. The real victims here are the civilians on both sides caught in the crossfire.
