Why would Israel have a hard time getting munitions from any other first-world country, especially when they have the excuse of getting attacked by terrorists?

Withholding munitions from Israel doesn’t stop the genocide.
Maybe we should stop sending weapons to Ukraine since they’re going to be able to buy them from someone else
Withdrawing support for either country doesn’t do anything good for us. It keeps friends with them, and both are fighting terrorists.
Israel, unlike Ukraine, happens to also be incurring civilian casualties - lots of them. By being the one they work with, we get to set terms of delivering aid and limited attack responses, things China or Russia likely wouldn’t care about. It works, to some small degree - they limited their attack response to Iran based on Biden’s threat.
You can disagree with the policy as being ineffective. But I’d say, first, propose an alternative - one that actually reduces death, not just wiped out hands of it. Second, stop labeling it “support” for the genocide. At worst, it’s a failure to convince other people to stop it.
It’s so funny how the US is capable of stopping Russia in its own backyard for 2 years, yet incapable of reigning in its own satellite after almost a year of them indiscriminately killing civilians
What do you mean, all the propaganda for the last 2 years has been that Putin was stopped by the US weapons and the counteroffensive. Surely you aren’t questioning the ability of the US to deliver on its promises.
Anyway if the US has that power, cutting off weapons to a genocide should be easy by comparison.
It’s the bypassing congress to make sure the settler occupation gets their bombs

What are you talking about? The US hasn’t stopped Russia, and Ukraine still suffers because of them.
War is extremely difficult, especially when trying to minimize damage to innocent people.
