The US is one of dozens of countries sending military aid to Israel, who has been an active defender of UD interests and especially democracy in a non-democratic region for 80 years under over a dozen administrative.
If the US dogs all weapons tomorrow, they still have enough weapons for an indefinite war and the us throws away any diplomatic leverage.
Biden has gone from complete support to directly contradicting netanyahu that the US won’t support an extended war and that the US is focused on a 2-state solution and that Israel wind down their current massacre.
Israel didn’t, Biden met and talked with netanyahus political rival.
Biden sent direct humanitarian aid against netanyahus wishes.
Biden is opening up a port to safely deliver more Palestinian aid against netanyahus wishes.
For the leader of a country indirectly involved in the war, Biden is doing a lot in four months to diplomatically address the massacre.
Immediately cutting off all weapons to a 70-yeat tacit and 50-year very active ally would severely damage the trust and reputation of the US to its committed allies.
Cutting off all aid also means that Israel has no reason to listen to the us at all now or in the future and the us throws away all credibility as an indirect influential ally diplomatically drawing down the massacre.
Talking with political opponents to netanyahu, sending aid, starting publicly that they won’t support an extended war, setting up a humanitarian pathway against their wishes, these are direct diplomatic actions appropriate for the role of an indirectly involved ally.
Yes, providing aid to your ally’s enemy does change shit.
And opening up a sustained aid pathway in direct defiance of your ally’s military policy and stated wishes definitely changes shit.
US aid to Israel is not the only thing that matters, it is one small part, not very important with current Israeli stockpiles and the dozens of other countries that are supporting them anyway, the US stopping all military aid tomorrow would not affect the Israeli military for years.
Israel has dozens of active allies providing them with military support and years of weapons stockpiles.
If the US stops providing aid tomorrow, Israel can still indefinitely continue this war and others, for years or even decades unless they’re cut off by all their allies and the US loses its most potent leverage as long as netanyahu, a dictator, directs his very militarized, prejudiced, and polarized country.

Biden and the US are still supplying them with weapons and money, and shielding them from the UN.
Just because they drop a few meagre bits of aid and share some empty rhetoric doesn’t change shit.
Biden and the US are still directly contributing to the war, that is the only thing that matters.

No.
It is very fucking important. You don’t fight a fire by actively dumping fuel into it.
If it takes a few weeks for their stockpiles to run out, than the best time to stop aid was weeks ago, the second best time is today.
Israel has dozens of active allies providing them with military support and years of weapons stockpiles.
If the US stops providing aid tomorrow, Israel can still indefinitely continue this war and others, for years or even decades unless they’re cut off by all their allies and the US loses its most potent leverage as long as netanyahu, a dictator, directs his very militarized, prejudiced, and polarized country.
And if the US doesn’t stop tomorrow they can continue forever.
It’s a very basic concept here, stop defending weapons to genociders.
