More specifically my point is that most Western societies have by now better values than Israel.
There’s a lot of West in the West and most Western countries do seem to have evolved beyond the values they had back when pretty much all of them though that white colonialists had a right to take whatever land they wanted anywhere they wanted and if the “savages” in those lands were “violent” then any and all means to suppress them were valid.
Note that I’m not saying that most of the West has actual Humanist values (as you well point out, they don’t, or at least the elites holding most of the power in the West don’t), what I’m saying is that the values in most of the West are beyond the white-colonialist (and even NAZI-like) values that Israel has, especially amongst the broader population.
You will notice that most of the public opinion in Europe is by now against the Genocide by a large majority (the Politicians, on the other hand, are still their usual sociopathic selves, at best being “pragmatic” about it since the US supports Israel which means at the very least refusing to act in any way form or shape against Israel and its interests). Compare this to how in Israel over 80% of the population is in favor of the Genocide.
I would say that a better segmentation would separate the US from the rest of the West and then the elites from the broader population, as all the resulting 4 segments seem to have quite different moral views on this subject from each other (that does mean that I think the majority of Americans have different moral values than the majority of Europeans).
