Yeah, that's just what the world needs more of; the US playing world police, and forcing independent countries to do what it determines to be the "right" thing. Clearly that's the correct way to handle conflicts between two parties with deep-seated cultural hate toward one-another. Nothing could go wrong by telling a country like Israel -- who in the past 70 years has successfully deflected invasive attacks from every country surrounding it, requires every citizen to join the army for a few years at the age of 18, and who has a well-known history of assassination -- to do what we say or face the consequences.
That's kind of the point, the US never does actually act as the world's police, it just pretends to while only ever doing anything that furthers it's own interests. But yes, I do think American could and should force Israel to stop their campaign of violence. Why? Because it's the only way the violence will end. Israel will not stop of it's own accord, surely we must all realize this by now, and if things keep going like this, we will see the genocide of an entire people and then it will be too late. Why do you seem to think that divestment is such a bad idea? It's the same thing that worked with the South African apartheid government, they could not carry on as they were without international investment and nor can Israel. Is it the only way they will ever stop. Instead we are currently just seeing the US supply Israel with more arms.
It's not true that the Palestinians or Hamas don't want to settle things or negotiate with Israel. In June, the unity government between Fatah and Hamas was finally formed, and this is something that scared Israel as they clearly don't want to settle things under international law. The Unity government was recognized by the UN (including the US) who were willing to deal with them, however Israel was the only one who still refused to co-operate. Why is the Unity gov good enough for the whole UN, but not Israel? And when this latest incursion into Gaza occurred so soon after this, it's not hard to see what Israel's true motivations are.
So yes, I think the US and the rest of world should pull their investment from Israel. Or else Israel will get their way and we will see a one state solution, as there will be no Palestinians left!
