Exactly. Israel is an extension of US power, not the other way around, and is a tool for enforcing US policy in the region. Even John Mearsheimer seems to have trouble recognising that the US could compel Israel to seek peace if it actually wanted to, by simply cutting off arms shipments, Israel would be screwed, instead he seems to think Biden is working tirelessly to come up with some solution. The fact that the US avoids using it's leverage over Israel (when it is literally the only one that has any) is a political choice. At this point what is going to compel the US to put its attack dog back on it's leash? The US clearly has as much concern for international law as Israel does.
