Hmmm, this sounds like the choice between having one's pie and eating it. And I repeat, it is very improbable that they're still alive. This sounds like a unilateral cease fire, and the US shouldn't be supporting any such thing.
Well, it all depends of interpretation. The whole "international public opinion" interpreted Israel's actions as arbitrary and disproportional, but the official US didn't agree. "Israel has the right to defend herself", was their adage... I cannot see why they'd change it.
