As much as I hate to agree with it, yes, this sums it up quite neatly!
Geopolitically speaking, Israel serves a couple of useful roles to the so-called "West", ranging from its function as a lightning rod for Arab sentiment to some less savoury stuff such as arming and training actors that would just not go down well domestically if the US, UK & Co. did it directly. And a lot of other stuff, too!
They might like to talk fluff about "oh, but shared values and whatnot", but, really, in the world of realpolitik, nobody gives a flying fuck whether or not there is a PRIDE parade in Tel Aviv or whatever - if they did, Saudi would be a pariah state!
Israel simply has a good cost/benefit ratio for them.
And while that sounds horrible (it is!), it also pretty clearly lays out what needs to happen for this to change: the cost/benefit calculation needs shifting!
To some extent, mass public outrage is achieving some movement of that needle (as, ironically, is mass public outrage over mass public outrage). Hence the call for "humanitarian pauses", which clearly serves the purpose of maintaining some semblance of a moral conscience.
That said, if you think it through: "humanitarian pauses" are a downright cynical proposal: "let us keep people alive for long enough so they can die of bombs instead of starvation", basically!
