lets be a bit more cynical, nobody inside the state department legitimately cares about palestinian lives.
the road the administration is taking (full backing to israel as it provokes every regional opponent) is bad fucking business.
to anybody who knows the first thing about persian gulf strategy, it's literally insane to be sabre-rattling while US navy resources are in the fucking medditerrean. if egypt closes the canal, as they'd be wont to do in a military confrontation with israel, Iran will run roughshod over US allies and remaining assets in the persian gulf.
these people are thinking the only reason to actually goad Iran into a fight is when the US has the whole marine corps and half the navy balls deep up the persian gulf and ready to "roll into" Tehran when it 'becomes official". we know they'll lose that fight but the fundamental thing is under the ideology and dogma of the US imperial apparatus, Israel is a disposable asset, and if the Biden admin goes full-throat for them into annihilation, that's not ideal for the interests in charge of this shit. the reason Israel exists is to destroy and absorb US-hostile forces and munitions with limited liability. the US actually becoming engaged ruins the point of having a proxy do it

I'm starting to think the US state-military apparatus has a humiliation kink.
I think they're just the failsons of failsons who have been huffing their own farts for so long that they actually believe their empire is a shining city on a hill representing the most elevated ideals of freedom, democracy and civilization.
Also the Chinese have taken an interest in the Israel Gaza conflict now as have the Russians so there's another world power taking interest in the middle east again for the first time in a while

They are thinking "Step on us, Xi". It is the best explanation.

if you only recruit people who believe in the international order then you are going to only get people who have no fucking idea how geopolitics works
