I think that's exactly what it is. Israel is basically used to be able to do whatever they want with impunity. I think they actually want to expand this to a war with Iran because that would force US to get directly involved. From everything I've read, it looks like the whole Gaza campaign is a huge debacle. They failed to achieve any strategic goals, they lots a lot of troops and equipment, their economy is now suffering because of the blockade by Yemen and due to the fact that they had to mobilize a bunch of people. Now, they're finding themselves in a war of attrition in a dense urban environment, and their army is not really built for that.
I think it's the same logic Ukraine had earlier own where they kept hoping that they could create some kind of a provocation that would force NATO to go all in. The difference is that Israel has a much better chance of actually achieving that.
Plus no one actually likes Ukraine. They tolerate them because it's a good weapon testing ground buffer for Russia. Whether or not Israel is well liked is irrelevant because the money's still flowing both ways.
Israel is basically the last bastion US has in the region, if it falls then Iran will become the dominant power. At the same time it's hard to say whether US even has the capability to go to war with Iran at this point.

Exactly, the west is just cynically using Ukraine in a proxy war, but Israel has real leverage over the west.
Is it reasonably possible that Imperial America will leave the neocolony to fend for itself?
