If Syria Is Expected To Withdraw from Lebanon, Shouldn’t Israel Withdraw From the Occupied Territories?

According to the US, Syria is an evil occupier in Lebanon, whereas Israel is just "protecting itself" with the occupation of West Bank and Gaza. Those 450 000 Jewish settlers in the occupied areas are there just to protect the poor suffering Jews of Israel. Etc.

So, the cruel occupation, ethnic cleansing and stealing of land by Israel is portrayed in US as a brave fight for it´s own survival, whereas Syria´s interference in Lebanon and it´s attempts to control country through it´s proxies - a tactic often used by the US itself - is then portrayed as a worser thing.
