The U.S. should have stopped supporting Israel in 1947-48. That's when the genocide started.
In November 1947, the UN passed Resolution 181, which partitioned British-mandate Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states. Fighting broke out almost immediately between Arab and Zionist forces. Before the end of the British Mandate in May 1948, Zionist militias, including the Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi, began expelling Palestinians and destroying villages. Notable incidents include:
Balad al-Shaykh massacre On December 31, 1947, Zionist forces killed up to 70 Palestinians in the village of Balad al-Shaykh.
Al-Khisas raid On December 18, 1947, Zionist militias raided the village of Al-Khisas.
Deir Yassin massacre In April 1948, months after the UN Partition Plan was approved, Irgun and Lehi paramilitaries attacked the village of Deir Yassin, killing at least 107 Palestinians, including women and children
Had to do more research to find more context. The picture you paint makes it seem like it was a one-sided aggression carried out by the Jews and completely unprovoked. It also leaves out times where some of the Jewish attacks came after attacks by Arabs, like the Al-Khisas attack you brought up. In that attack, the Jews were retaliating, although i'd say it was excessive and wrong.
The al-Khisas raid, also known as the al-Khisas massacre, was an attack on the Palestinian village of al-Khisas carried out by the Palmach on December 18, 1947, during the 1948 Palestine war.
The attack took place during the civil war phase of the 1948 Palestine war and was conducted as a reprisal for the killing of a Jewish man near Al-Khisas.[a] Local Palmach commanders decided to launch a retaliatory attack on the village, arguing that "if there was no reaction to the murder, the Arabs would interpret this as a sign of weakness and an invitation to further attacks".

Also a civil war (as opposed to just one side trying to commit genocide) started between the Arabs and Jews in Palestine in 1947 right after the UN voted to make Palestine into two states.
On November 29, 1947, the United Nations (UN) voted to partition the British mandate of Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state (see United Nations Resolution 181). Clashes broke out almost immediately between Jews and Arabs in Palestine, beginning with the Arab ambush of a bus carrying Jewish passengers from Netanya to Jerusalem on November 30. As British troops prepared to withdraw from Palestine, conflict continued to escalate, with both Jewish and Arab forces committing hostile acts. .

In fact, an attack that happened earlier than all of the Jewish attacks you listed was carried about by Arabs against Jews in November of 1947:
On November 30, 1947, an Egged bus on its way to Jerusalem from Netanya was attacked by Arab militants, followed by an attack on another bus, killing seven Jews. It was the first attack following the UN's adoption of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, which took place the day before.

Fast forward, we can say that the Jews gained an upper hand and engaged in acts of genocide or ethnic cleansing which made a lot of Palestinians flee in fear. Google Ai explains it as this,
The 1948 expulsion and displacement of Palestinians is called the Nakba (or al-Nakba), which is an Arabic word meaning "catastrophe" or "disaster".
This event refers to the period during the 1948 Palestine war when approximately 700,000 to 750,000 Palestinians were expelled or fled from their homes and land by Zionist militias and the new Israeli army, becoming refugees in neighboring countries or internally displaced within what became the State of Israel.
Not much different than what we have now. Both sides are willing to engage in genocide and sometimes act on it, but Israel just has the means to inflict greater damage and genocide even.
