"Israel" is a US colony; it's entire existence hinges on the latter.
Its formation used common british colonization tactics [III], with companies literally named "Colonization Commission", "Jewish Colonial Trust" and the like.
Theodor Herzl, founder of the colonial ideology he called "zionism", was himself also just a racist colonizer by his own admission, and saw it as bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘barbarians’ as the rest of Europe did when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:
Only difference now is that the US has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2, no longer UK in Europe.
And capitalist governments work for the interests and profit of capitalists rather than workers as is the reason for the genocide here (keeping the middle east unstable and unable to unite against imperialism with a colony right in the middle of Africa and Asia), so yes that does matter.
The government does not represent you since you're not a capitalist, so trying to change something as massive as a genocide through it is pointless, specially when the only other option is just as bad, if not worse. The only thing that will change it is organizing and pressuring it from the outside.
Rather than "intervening" like you want other countries to do against a nuclear state, has the US considered not directly funding and facilitating the genocide?
