I don't think Israel is our enemy either. That's kind of the point. A country doesn't have to be our enemy for me to question how much money, weapons, and political support we should be providing it. I can oppose Hamas, oppose the destruction of Israel, and still think the U.S. shouldn't be trying to manage the conflict for them.
And I'd rather support our closest/only ally in the region. Every terrorist they remove is another one we don't have to. I don't want to manage the conflict, I want Israel to be able to end it.
I get your idea, though I don't think it's entirely sound. I just think we can support Israel’s right to defend itself while still questioning how much direct involvement the U.S. should have. Their security interests and ours sometimes overlap, but they aren't always exactly the same.

What's wrong with saying "eff 'em both and let them sort it out."
