Why doesnt the West, especially the US, abandon Israel?

With Israel atrocities reaching new heights to the point where they are killing foreign citizens (Polish, American, British etc), it is becoming harder for me to understand why they are willing to tolerate this to no end? We have seen countries that are not Western openly go against Israel. Examples would be starting a genocide case against them and cut ties with Israel. Now, I am not saying that Israel should be military attacked by the West, however it should get the Russian treatment based on them breaking all international law. That would entail sanctions, cutting of relations and expulsion of ambassadors. My question is, why is this not happening? How exactly does Israel, such a small country benefit the West so much that it is willing to abandon all its principles to support it without restraint? And this has been going on for decades, not 5 months ago. These days, the West, especially US has pretty good relations with most Middle Eastern countries like Saudi, Egypt and UAE. Israel is just making the West look so bad, loosing tons of support for their values, exposing them not only as hypocrites but downright cowards when their citizens get murdered and they do not do anything about it. Not to mention funding Israel costs. Seem like a huge burden. Is it because of the Holocaust? USA nor UK were not involved (biggest Israel allies). Also, I have not seen any empathy for other groups that also faced equally horrible genocides like the Armenians, the Tutis in Rwanda, or the Slavs during WW2 (especially Belarus loosing over 25 to 33% of its population to Nazis). Is it because Israel is their only ally in the region? Perhaps in the past yes, but these days as I wrote above, they tend to have good relations with other big players there. Is it because of subconscious racism? Western Europe especially is mostly Green now, this should not be the case anymore. They took so many refugees for example. So out of reasons I would like some arguments from you guys. And please, do not start using conspiracy theories to explain it. Stuff like "Jews own all the media, they own the West, Illuminati, Elites". Thank you in advance.
