What, and cut off the flow of money going to politicians that are pro-Israel? Hand-wringing is the best they can manage.

That's just a side effect and what keeps the ball rolling. The entire point is that they give Israel money and the Israelis turn around and spend it on American "defense" contractors. It's a round about subsidy for American industry with the bonus that they get a lackey in the middle east.
