A perfect example of absurd thinking that takes no account of the facts.

The "blackmail" here is falling into Israel's trap of getting America more involved in Israel's holy wars,

Fact: We have never gone to war for Israel, not once.

The ultimate solution is ending America's one-sided support of Israel.

Fact: in no objective sense can our support for Israel be considered one sided. other than the token aid we've given them all we've done is tie their hands and attempt to force them to deal with those who want their total destruction.

it serves no purpose to antagonize oil-producing Arab nations further whom we'll be competing with China more and more in the future to get their oil.

Fact: we went to war to protect Saudi Arabia and liberate Kuwait.

rather than let the Israel lobby flush those down the drain...

Fine let's get out of it, let's say to both the Israelis and the Palestinians, we're out of here, you two settle this your own way. Sounds good to me.
