The killing in Darfur is wholly independent of any U.S. assistance, being conducted by local militia forces with their own small arms, with some backing by Soviet era equipment long in the Sudan government's hand.
Israel is along-standing military ally of the United States, which finds its interests in the region well served by the relationship.
A serious proposal for addressing the genocide in Darfur would be a sizeable military force under U.N. auspices with authority to shoot down the offending tribal militias.
A serious proposal for addressing the difficulties of Arab Palestinians in Gaza would be replacing the Hamas rejectionists with a P.A. government that would actually accept a peace with Israel, and quash militant elements refusing to abide by it.
