Whatever you may think of the US and the questionable elements of their foreign policy, in middle east terms the US is dedicated to supporting viable existence of Israel
Hamas are the *******s hete and is at war with Israel. Wars bring casualties. Also if Hamas releades the illegally taken hostages, there would be a ceasefire.

Which is it? Crush obliterate Gaza because Hamas should be crushed (is that the strategic objective?), or just crush them until Hamas release hostages (a substantively different objective)?
Certainly nothing I've heard from the Israeli Government supports the claim that the release of the hostages is the primary objective.
Since Israel has essentially made the objective something completely unachievable it's a never ending conflict. Which, if you wanted to commit ethnic cleansing but not call it that, would be exactly the type of scenario you'd want to engineer.
