It moreso relates to Canada etc. “supporting” our ally’s, Canada and the US would have no reason to support Israel otherwise. Does Israel have values in common with any North American nation? Lol
Yes, Israel is basically a slice of Europe plomped down in the Middle East. Tel Aviv is like any other city in southern Europe like Greece or Spain. They're also nominally a democracy and are generally Western in outlook as many people in power there have roots from the European Ashkenazi Jewish community . You'd have to have half a brain to think the Western powers would side with some Arab dictatorship (which they do for some, just never against Israel) over them.
