Why do we support Israel? Why are we contributing to the destruction of the Palestinians? Not that I think Hamas is any better. What's in it for the US?
To answer your question on why the US supports Israel unconditionally:
Though I disagree on your assessment that Hamas isn't any better. When was Hamas guilty of a genocide? Hamas on multiple occasions was willing to accept a 2-state solution on 1967 borders. From the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative to their 2017 charter. Israel never accepted any peace and rejected any possibility of a Palestinian state. Instead expanded its settlements and evictions in the West Bank, and put Gaza in a blockade since 2007.
