I believe that this moral confusion begins when people fail to realize that the Jews have a God-given right to the land, and in fact the territory that God granted them extends even beyond the boundaries of the West Bank into parts of Lebanon and Syria.
Israel has in fact not taken full possession of lands that were granted to the Jews (the people of the covenant), but even at the current standing, many in the world see their presence as a violation of international law. That however takes second place to God’s law.
America has been the only strong voice supporting Israel for many years. The only reason I can see for that is the remnant of America’s original founding principles, summed up in the motto, “in God we trust.”
It has been less directly mandated in prophecy, but America’s claim to its own territory is based on essentially the same principle.
Without these principles, nobody has any ordained right to any land and it reverts to the historical paradigm of winner take all.
Obama went silent on these matters because he’s not a true believer. Other recent U.S. presidents have varied from strong support of Israel to lukewarm, but few have turned against Israel the way Obama did.
If there’s a future president who takes the same approach as Obama and Israel is not blessed with the strong leadership they have had under Netanyahu, then I foresee a time of troubles for Israel. And by extension, for America and the western world (in many cases, that trouble is well underway, and it can be linked to this question, as the globalist multicultural paradigm is essentially a misreading of God’s word). There may in fact be good intentions involved but bad outcomes are inevitable.

Well stated! I would also add......
Genesis 12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
