Do they understand that the conflict is between two separate countries and neither of them is the USA?

You forgot about the nearly $4 billion USD worth of military aid every year.

They're US allies. They've been receiving that aid long before the hamas broke the ceasefire by attacking an EDM festival and killing a thousand civilians. The conflict over there is a terrible situation, but fucking up people's commutes 7500 miles away from the conflict zone accomplishes nothing except for ruining those people's days, and possibly causing them massive hardship.
