It looks like for all the public stance at the top is all in on support for Israel's actions, there's additional nuance within the ranks at the State Department.
A while back, a geopolitically-minded friend of mine made the remark that both China and the US have a rogue state in their sphere of influence that regularly starts shit and causes embarrassment for their benefactors: China has North Korea, while the US has Israel.
Israel didn't start shit. It didn't even start itself, or its war of independence. It can certainly be argued they overreact, but not start.
I'd rather point at the US and Saudi Arabia.
Yet with the US governments stance they’ll most likely alienate the rest of the region and other Muslims worldwide.
You can support your ally, but it doesn’t mean you should let them go crazy on another population.
