Why is the United States urging restraint from Israel in its conflict with Hezbollah?

More often than not, it’s probably preferable if they just let Israel make decisions for itself. It’d be better for everyone.
Countries and organizations hellbent on Israel’s destructions don’t care about what the West think of them or their actions.
It causes the US to push Israel to restrain itself, which just ends up empowering its enemies. It causes Israel society to resent Western countries that bomb the crap out of Afghanistan for two decades, but ask Israel to exercise restraint the day a war begins. It leaves the US vulnerable to attacks at the hands of those Israel is trying to stop. Why? All to try and gain recognition for solving problems of the Middle East they’ll likely not even coming close to solve.

There are many things about Middle Eastern politics Americans tend to not understand.
Everyone else in the world wants to crush their enemies just as much as the US does.
Especially when the president is a Democrat.
If Trump were to lose in 2024, would that be the end of his grip on the Republican Party?
Israel is doing the world a favor by destroying groups that would gladly attack the States just as badly as they attacked Israel on October 7th.
These and other misunderstandings lead to poor decisions about how to react to a situation like the current one.
Because that’s what it does.

In the Middle East, strength is valued and respected more than restraint.
The likelihood of creating peace in the region is minuscule, and there probably far easier and more likely paths to carve out your legacy as a world leader.
