I do not believe the West is actively supporting Israel.
According to the Congressional Research Service US aid to Israel (mostly in the form of military aid) is currently running to the tune of about $3 billion per annum (page 26 provides a handy summary), and has done for some time now. Whether that's 'actively supporting' Israel is a matter of semantics, but it looks like quite a bit of support of the active variety to me.

I do not believe the West is actively supporting Israel. Could you imagine the swiftness and severity of US retribution we would see if the Mexicans were lobbing bombs across the border every afternoon form the top of school buildings? The Israelis are stuck in the middle of a fucking furness surrounded by people who want the ultimate destruction of the Jewish state.
