America definitely wouldn’t be doing it this brazenly without AIPAC. In all their previous genocides they fought for a major objective and managed to keep their propaganda alive.
Now it’s all falling apart for a miniscule landgrab for a settler colony while not lending the weapons to Israel but giving it all for free.
See Ukraine as an example for what realpolitik looks like. Gaza is not it.
They support and punish specific politions and groups but AIPAC isn’t the driver, Zionism is an essential part of the US policy in the MENA region. Israel is essentially a colony of the US and it’s allies. They would be happy to do it less openly like they had been for decades, keeping Palestine subjected but not aggravating onlookers too much, but the right wing in Israel are blood-thirsty genociders.
