So, are you claiming that if the United States stops sending some military aid to Israel, Netanyahu will be unable to continue military operations in Gaza? Because if so, you are sorely mistaken. Israel's military is perfectly self-sufficient, and if you think they particularly care about some UN resolutions, you need to talk to some Israelis.
American support in this is not a significant factor in the outcome. Joe Biden could not unilaterally stop Israeli operations in Gaza unless he declared war on Israel and deployed troops, and I can assure you that isn't going to be happening. Not to mention, China, Russia, India, Europe, and all of South America also exist. Americans do not unilaterally decide everything that happens or doesn't happen in the world. We're not that important.
The United States was the sole veto of a ceasefire 20 days ago.
If it wasn't for US support of Israel, Israel would be north Egypt.
Considering how Egypt treats Palestinians, one would think that would be something you wouldn't want.
It's okay to oppress Palestinians as long as you don't kill them? Apartheid is a good thing?

And you think that, if only the US hadn't vetoed it, Russia and China would have invaded Israel to stop it?
Do you realize that you're arguing against yourself here? Claiming that "it wouldn't make a difference whether the US supported Israel or not," makes it look so much fucking worse that Biden is refusing to drop support for this genocide. This is incredibly tone deaf.
