'Must'?
No we musn't
It may be a popular idea for civilians, but we support Israel for geopolitical reasons, not just to be friendly.
Could you elaborate on those reasons?
Mainly "Iran is bad and will happily cause significant problems for the west if left unchecked"
Israel is in no way a useful check to Iran. Everyone in the region either hates them or tolerates them for money. They do not have an interest in attacking Iran at scale abroad, or the population to sustain it. If anything they serve as a useful strawman for Iran.
Also, I'd like to point out our "allies" in the region are just as bad. Iran isn't a real democracy. Saudi is openly an absolute monarchy and holds public beheadings for fun.
