You're like the neurotic spouse who finds a way to interpret every good action as somehow having malevolent intent and therefore not appreciating when your spouse actually does good things. In some aspects, life is simple: You should reward good behavior, regardless of alleged motives. I agree, I don't like Israel's settler activity in the West Bank. But you are sending the opposite message to Israel by not giving Israel credit for doing what we both wanted it to do in Gaza, which was dismantle its settlements.
