They have no intentions of bringing about any kind of peace. Not even short term.
Other than of course, letting the genocide be completed.
They have several avenues to doing so. Legally and morally sound. They could shut it down today. But they won’t.
They have the Leahy Law. Prohibiting the transfer of arms to any country credibly accused of human rights violations. The ICJ has already proven that much. And there is popular support by a wide margin not just at home but around the world to end this. It’s the easiest win of all time. But ending it doesn’t serve US Imperial Aims in the region. They want Netanyahoos “Greater Israel” to use as a base of operations to project force over the whole middle east. Once that is accomplished Iran will be invaded.

um, no. Reality check: Israel easily has majority support of the US population. Why neither party considers ending arms supply there a good policy to win election.
If the question is “do you support Israel”, yeah, but that’s not the question.
At the same time, a bare majority of Americans (53%) agree on restricting military aid to Israel so it cannot use the aid toward military operations against Palestinians, similar to previous readings. Seven in 10 Democrats (68%) and more than half of Independents (54%) support restricting military aid to Israel, while the majority of Republicans (59%) oppose doing so.
Combined, nearly two-thirds of Americans (64%) also say the United States should pressure Israel to accept a ceasefire, either with diplomacy (27%) or by reducing arms shipments (37%). However, three in 10 (29%) say the United States should continue arm shipments to Israel and not pressure it to accept a ceasefire at all. While the majority of Republicans say the United States should continue its arms shipments to Israel and not put any pressure on it (53%), nearly half of Democrats (47%) and a plurality of Independents (42%) say the United States should pressure Israel to accept a ceasefire by reducing its weapons transfers.
