I disagree, wholeheartedly. Israel has been overstepping many many times and they've proven an unworthy and unpredictable ally. You may be right about them being an extension of the West and especially the United States, which of course is entirely true. But like many of America's investments in allies.. it was an utter mistake and disaster.
Is it? From a bleeding heart, empathetic and respect for human life and people, yes. From a tactical keeping an ally in arguably one of the shittiest parts of the world that's is always in turmoil and could put the world into full fledged conflict, it's not a disaster.
It has its purpose and that region is far from being out of a volitile state so keeping the dog on gaurd makes sense.
You may be able to argue they have overstepped and clearly they have, they have precision and shown it time and time again but don't view Palestinians as humans so they could care less about using that precision and happily kill kids and innocent people. This will undoubtedly keep things volitile as more extremists are born.
That's why I doubt this is some end all conflict and a new confiict will arise in 20 years or less and will have the same talking points.
