No because the US evangelical right is an apocalypse cult which believes that Israel completely destroying Palestine is a necessary condition for their desired apocalypse.
Not just that, AIPAC is one of the largest lobby groups in the US and they hold a disproportional amount of sway when it comes to steering government policy.
Trying to change this would require a complete overhaul over the way the US government currently functions, and there are too many entrenched individuals who would be willing to kill you in order to prevent that.
Will the United States Ever Sanction Israel?
No
Can the US Sanction Israel? A non zero amount of military technology and intelligence flows back to the US from Israel. So from a practical point of view could the US afford it? I think there’s a reason Israel is getting the GOP to fight the BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement. They know if BDS is successful then there’s less downside to sanctioning them.
Oh yeah, you should check out the BDS movement.
“Will the United States ever sanction the 51st state?”
lol
It goes beyond that.
With Saudi Arabia leaning increasingly towards BRICS and being more erratic in its support of the West, Israel is the last firm diplomatic beacon and region of influence the US has in the Middle East.
It also just so happens to be an apartheid state.
Even if public opinion sharply turned on Israel (it won’t), the US would still hold firm in supporting it. Not because it’s obligated to Israel or even because of sunk-cost fallacy. But because it would remove any chance of the US playing a part in regional hegemony.
Why?
Because Israel will continue violating human rights knowing the US will always protect them.
It’s not really human rights violations that drive US sanctions anyway. There’s plenty of other countries that are rife with human rights violations, but don’t get sanctions. So long as they listen when US interests are concerned, they’re fine.
