The US, in fact most of the world, came out of WW2 with an understanding that a country deciding that land another country has is rightly theirs was WRONG.
Further wars have been fought defending the sovereignty of countries since then. Several in fact.
The democratic world has rarely stood by and simply allowed these actions to stand.

At least 22 people were killed and 124 others injured by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, the Lebanese Health Ministry said, as residents of villages near the border defied orders by Israel’s military not to return to their homes.
The deaths come as a deadline expired Sunday for Israel to withdraw forces from the area, as part of a ceasefire agreement that ended months of conflict with Hezbollah.

Israel did not start this war to take over land. They retaliated against a terrorist attack. What you and I and many others have issues with is that they have turned this retaliatory "opportunity" into an attempt to wipe the Palestinians off the map. As Overlander said, that is wrong.
In my opinion, the actions taken by Israel since then have frequently been no different than those of the terrorist group that attacked them in the first place.

"Benjamin Netanyahu has become the fourth world leader to be issued with an arrest warrant for crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC). It puts him alongside Vladimir Putin of Russia, Omar al-Bashir of Sudan, and Muammar Gaddafi of Libya."
That is not the group of world leaders that you should try to emulate.
