I understand more than you can imagine. I will just say this, when people I respected, Hillary Clinton eg, voted to support the Iraq War, I was shocked. I fully expected her to do all she could to stop Cheney and Bush. I wanted to believe that the party I supported would do the right thing.
I watched the slaughter in Iraq, I saw the dead children, the tortured innocents.
To oppose evil even when it is perpetrated by those we once thought of allies, is always the right thing to do. So I opposed her, I will never support her. I had met her, respected her, she spoke for me. It was difficult to argue with Bush Supporters when they USED her to argue against my opposition to that massive War Crime. They pointed to HER 'even your hero, Hillary supported Bush'.
Wrong is wrong, and those who use our good intentions to perpetrate wrongdoing are EVIL EVEN IF they are 'one of us'.
I don't know how you will resolve the conflict you are experiencing but all I can say is, Netanyahu is your Cheney and does not represent you. But that is easy for me to say from my perspective.
I read the statements of a survivor of the Holocaust a few days ago regarding the actions of the Israeli Govt. For him, there was no conflict, his statements opposing the current Right Wing Israeli Govt brough tears to my eyes.
If I find it again, I will email it to you. Perhaps it will help.
