Standing with Netanyahu achieves nothing.
A TRUE pro-Israel position would be to publicly disavow the West Bank occupation and the settlements, or, if nothing else, to PUBLICLY call for the Palestinian people to be given some breathing space, to be allowed to go from one part of the West Bank to another without having to go through checkpoint after check poitn, to return the Palestinian olive trees that were illegally uprooted and replanted on the settlements, and to let the NGO's carry out humanitarian work like the construction of solar panel without having to wait endlessly for approval from the IDF-AND to admit that it's possible to support things like that without being anti antisemite or(if you're Jewish)to be "self-loathing".
