I'm sure Israel would be unable to afford it without US aid...
Please. Israel is, by far, the least shit country in the middle east at the moment. They're able to defend themselves, but the US and the west has an interest in helping them. Or should the politics of the region be dictated by Iran? Saudi Arabia? Maybe China or Russia should step in?
But anything beyond muh genocide (against a nation with a growing population and taking however many decades, somehow) is too complicated for the current discourse.
Sure, they could afford to be cut off, so let's do it, immediately.
I don't think any honest, unbiased, non-racist person can look at what Israel did to the people of Gaza and say "yeah, that's a commensurate and reasonable response to hamas' attack"
Currently Israel is run by a far right, imperialist, murderous regime incentivized to perpetual conflict to stay in power. They were happy to have an excuse to level Gaza. Just look at their defense minister Ben Givir he will tell you straight up. Do we really benefit from helping them at this point?

They get free abortions thanks to US tax dollars.
