I don't think there are evils and goods in this world. Each side follows what it sees as the best action-plan, and it does so as perfectly as it can. Truth is, if you belonged to one of these sides, you would act exactly as they are acting.
The only thing that matters for you, as an observer, is what sort of action will bring the middle-east closer to your own goals. If you want peace, then there is no doubt that supporting the democratic county would be best for you. A simple recounting of history is all that is required to see that every single armed conflict in the history of mankind involved at least one non-democratic entity.
However, not all of us want peace. Some seek justice, and for them, it would be a bit harder to support one of the sides.
