The US is also supplying food, medicine, transport passages when possible, etc. Again - you may not like the policy but it isn’t genocide it is more complicated than that. Also - a lot of nations are supplying weapons so it isn’t like the US is solely enabling anything. The hard reality is that Israel is the only anchor in a part of the world that is both energy rich(see critical for all of those SUVS and cheap flights in the US) and US friendly - so the weapons are a reflection that Israel is much more likely to be attacked(and now have been) post the Oct 2023 attacks. The calculus is that Israel keeps Iran and others at bay so the US doesn’t have to do so - the policy has little to do with Gaza. Hamas and Israel are using Gaza as pawn in that game. As we recognized the 1 year anniversary of the invasion, mass kidnappings, mass rape, and mass murder I wonder what Hamas expected to happen and I realize it is exactly what is happening. They retreat behind 2MM human shields, Bibi overreacts, Iran, Hezbollah, etc engage and maybe they get a regional conflict off of the blood of the people they claim to be governing and protecting. A nightmare all around.
They’re supplying the weapons!

It isn’t more complicated than that
Israeli officials said “we’re going to wipe out everyone in Gaza” and now they’re doing that.
just a few things:
a huge number of experts on human rights and genocide have said that israel is committing genocide: https://www.bu.edu/articles/2024/is-israel-committing-genocide-in-gaza/

https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/israel-engaged-in-genocidal-actions-in-gaza-says-israeli-american-holocaust-scholar/3308314
israeli military officials have said that their assault on gaza wouldn't last more than a few months without us support: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-09-02/ty-article-magazine/.premium/without-u-s-aid-israel-would-have-struggled-to-fight-in-gaza-beyond-a-few-months/00000191-aec2-d875-a3bb-aed7e2e30000
the united states has provided over 50,000 tons of weapons to israel over the past year: https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-says-us-shipments-of-arms-and-equipment-during-war-exceeds-50000-tons/
i leave people to draw their own conclusions about all of that.
