Greenlighting is useless and not needed for the above stated reason. However, the fact of the matter is that Israel wouldn't fuck with the Palestinians if the US would not be prepared to help Israel out if another Muslim state were to attempt to kick her ass. In that respect the US does "permit" the events to unfold.
If the US ever wants to truly end the cycle of violence, all she has to do is to stop money and arms from flowing to Israel and stop sticking up for Israel in the UN. A couple of sanctions would do wonders I bet!
