So besides the very important aspects which you somehow perceive as “anti-Semitic” it boils down to the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Israel is the USA’s back door to the Middle East, all the while their own outbursts and land grabs are akin to Russia VS Ukraine, Israel does it to scary muslims living in rubble so it’s accepted by the western world.
If you don’t think the power, wealth, and influence, Jewish people have the world over isn’t a reason that western society backs them, you’re just being obtuse.
It’s also quite funny there’s so much “support” for Israel when their current govt. is about as hard right as you can possibly get. And Really deep down they are preaching ethnic purity. But hey, that’s ok it’s not really effecting us and those people look white to me? *shrugs*

You kinda answered your own question there. The reason Israel is an ally is not because of their material wealth, but because they are a strategic partner in a geographical location in decades of unrest, AND they have powerful influential people across the world. I mean, that's a pretty good candidate for an ally.
Palestinians are obviously not all Hamas. But it is undeniable that there are Palestinian supporters of Hamas, and all Hamas are Palestinians. It's obviously not black and white, but it's also not unfair to call it like it is. Weren't you the one not standing for PC bullshit?
Lastly, left/right in Israel is not really what you think of left/right in Canada or even the US. This is an instance where you shouldn't pretend to be an expert in Middle East affairs because you watched a 8 minute youtube video.
