Unfortunately, it's just more complicated than that. The Presidency isn't a movie where you can just follow your heart.
We cannot actually halt the Israeli offensive. So we retain more ability to influence Israel by staying on their side, even if it's distasteful and unethical. It's a strategy though, and one that might have better chances of long term peace.
After all, it's not like Israel would stop attacking if we halted our weapon shipments. They have domestic industry. They could just switch to less precise tools once they run out of JDAMs.
