Why in the world do so many idiots think that the US can do anything significant with Israel and the Palestinians? They will do their own thing regardless of what we do.
Of course, if we just pull our support totally from Israel, the Middle East will be totally out of control and we will see the errorism that is now directed at Israel refocused toward the US.
