The metaphor I encountered online a few days ago which I find apt is: Israel is an abused child who has now grown up and is abusing others. Only a heartless bastard wouldn't feel some sympathy, and it may be unclear what would be the just thing to do, but when his kids start coming to school with bruises you absolutely must start moving heaven and earth to stop it.
