It wasn't an answer.Yes, but that wasn’t the question
You said Israel was beneficial to the West as an ally, except that it's interests are demonstrably not the same as the West's.Because it’s a wealthy country and beneficial as an ally, secondly it’s powerful enough to be a controlling influence in the Middle East and thirdly geo politics: Israel is effectively on the side of the West and against Iran, Russia and Arab nations / factions which dislike the West.
Israel will pursue its own interests despite, and in denial of, the very vocal requests of the West.
Israel has become so unruly that the UN and some western powers are making very strong arguments for Israel to abandon its war because of its criminal pursuit of that war.
The West is better off without an ally than with an unruly, unreliable ally intent on pursuing its own interests, with the provided arsenal of arms, in spite of the interests of the rest of the world.
