It SHOULD Happen none the less. It would absolutely send a message that what they’re doing in Gaza is unacceptable. No one has a stronger backer of Israel than the US, and if we pull arms/funding, that would matter to the Israeli government and people.

Oh, sure! Like I said, it would definitely have an impact in the long run, and would be a moral thing to do.
And, I think, the US is pressuring Netanyahu with the possibility of cutting off the military aid; it’s a pretty strong lever to use. I was just arguing that it’s not a quick and simple solution, and probably wouldn’t make the killing stop, if Israeli govt and military were stubborn.

Massive Expansion of Ariel Industrial Zone to be Approved
The government of Israel continues to build at an unprecedented pace in the Occupied Territories. Expanding an industrial area in the heart of the West Bank is not an Israeli interest, and certainly not a Palestinian interest. The industrial area west of Ariel does not promote economic growth, but rather harms both the Israeli and Palestinian economies alike.
