Self determination. Let us deal with the Palis as I’ve already outlined, and stop trying to force counter-productive negotiations on us in which the concessions are all one-sided, and the Palis’ malfeasance is routinely ignored, even to the point of murder. What we’d want from the US is to stop it already. You may be pleasantly surprised to find that we are reasonably humane and decent, and don’t need Americans to show us how.
I support this. I've long wanted the Israeli/Palestinian "thing" to be treated as a regional, Middle-Eastern problem to solve. I, too, agree that Israel is more than able to figure out a solution with her regional counterparts.
If Israel needs specific help from the US, ask. If we can accommodate the request and it fits our geopolitical objectives, I imagine we will do so gladly.
Thanks--and my best to you.

He dismissed the two state solution as unreality. I prefer government that tries to avoid war. Sometimes it can’t be avoided but those times are fortunately rare.
Peace through superior firepower doesn’t work there. The rest of the middle east doesn’t want them, either. I feel badly for them, though not that badly. If they wanted the murders to stop, they would stop. Hamas doesn’t recruit in a vacuum.
Those of them that are inclined to live productively and not commit murder have employment here, and when an Israeli “settlement’ opens up, they get to hook in for irrigation water. There’s no need to send them all packing. Kahane was wrong. Whoever really wants to live in the PA homeland can head for either Ghaza or Area A and rot there, for all of me, and if Egypt still wants to make part of the Sinai available for an extension of the PA homeland in Ghaza, that’s fine, too.
