Right or wrong (it is wrong in my opinion), supporting Israel and letting them do whatever the fuck they want while shoving weapons down their throat and no one daring to fuck beyond with them beyond words because you're backing them is an extreme show of the extent of your soft power I would argue.
Pulling support from a former ally in open war against your historical arch nemesis because your leader feels like they didn't thank them enough is the opposite. It tells everyone else that your words mean nothing. What about Taiwan tomorrow? Did they thank Trump enough to be protected from Chinese aggression?
That's the literal opposite to unwavering support of your ally even if that ally behaves like a lunatic (read: genocidal maniac).
