Not neglected—probably an OOM more effort/money on this by American public (but not gov) compared to any other conflict.
Not tractable—US might have enough leverage to stop the violence temporarily but there is no clear solution long term. Israels demographics are unfortunately probably cooked because the orthodox have more kids than the reformed jews so I don’t really see a long term vision of a dovish israel but not confident. Plus even if US could exert leverage on Israel that would require republicans/trump on board and there is no clear path to doing this.
Scale is real (esp if you take HUW’s claims about this being a genocide and eroding western credibility) but doesn’t seem to be on a different tier than the other existing or possible- future conflicts.
I’m ofc open to suggestions about why the effort spent by so many people has been through the wrong channels and how their are really effective TOC that haven’t been tapped but my default in the absence is that people are doing what they can and this is a really hard problem with moderate payoff. The best reason for EA to engage in this is probably to try to improve our reputation with the left.
