The OP gave a simplistic answer about baddies. In general though this does appear to be something of thinking of your side as pretty damn good in a moral sense. A few things I can think of that don’t feel like they align with the motives you gave:

- the US is close to near full support of course what Israel does. We have never had any issues supplying them with aid of all kinds. There doesn’t appear to be nuance there. The practice won’t stop. It exemplifies many of the general practices and uses of the military complex.

I have a hard time believing there isn’t some level of hypocrisy or dissonance to claim moral reasons like not being bullied, but on board with most of Israel’s actions.

Yemen is an easy case of how wrong things are. It is consistent with the frequency of the US not doing things for defensive purposes.

The first 3 points vs the waging war point appear To be conflicting and troublesome themselves.
