Cutting off all military aid to Israel would definitely make us feel better for a minute, but I think your post accurately points out that what comes next is likely to be much worse. One genocide may turn into a different genocide as the regional powers decide it’s open season on Israel. Then once Israel is facing probable eradication, the US is faced with allowing the destruction of Israel (including Israelis that oppose the current actions of their state), or getting back into a conflict, now with many more regional forces, and possibly nation states involved.
I absolutely agree with you that the IDF’s actions are abhorrent and consistent with war crimes as I understand international agreement (which is only layman’s understanding), but Bibi appears to be playing chicken with the entire population of Israel, and Biden may have blinked after considering the consequences.
Good! The let’s stop selling them weapons, withdraw our carriers, and let them deal with the consequences of their actions on their own.
It is really fucking easy to do what you want, to be ho you want, with no repercussions when you have the worlds strongest military backing you.
The little fuckers wouldn’t have enough balls to do what they have been doing without our backing.
For fucks sake, they are so scared and cowardly that they are shooting innocent hostages, with their shirts off, hands up and a white flag in them.

Those are the consequences of their actions, let the smart ones get out and the war hawks get what they paid for.
I mean, shit, you won’t find any disagreement from me. As far as I’m concerned, Israel should be treated as a hostile actor to the US.
Don’t know about that, though.
