I think there are at least two reasonable positions you could adopt that make more sense. Why don't you try one on for size?
First, you could argue that Israel is part of a US proxy war against … I'm not sure who, but someone. In the distant past, it would have been the USSR. Maybe a war against Islam, depending who you're talking about.
Second, you could argue that the US military industrial complex is happy for war anywhere, because it's more money in their pockets, and they're greedy.
Of course everything is more complicated, so who knows, but that's a starting point for a framework that might help you understand the motives of people in power.
