What would you propose they do differently?

1. Ignore the State Department and swear off all forms of political correctness.

Giving up all US aid as well? That would be the price of that.

2. Liberate all Palestinian land.

Define "liberate". In the sense that rioters "liberate" consumer electronics? Are you advocating evicting the Palestinians from the land they live on?

3. Try and execute Arafat and his buddies for war crimes.

"Try and execute". If that is your approach, what is the point of a trial? >:)

Protect the rights of freedom-loving citizens (be they Jews or Arabs), but punish those who violate the rights of others.

Hard to disagree with this one in theory. Are you proposing that Arabs and Jews have equal rights and equal privileges in the West Bank? That would actually be an improvement as currently Israeli settlers have a de facto supercitizenship there.

Giving up State Department aid. Private citizens and corporations can still contribute, and I'm sure they will.

I have always opposed all kinds of foreign aid paid from forcibly collected tax dollars. It should all be privatized; let citizens decide whom they give their money, and how much of it. Of course, African dictators would be getting pretty little that way, and Israel's aid wouldn't be subject to State Department conditions--that's why the PC establishment prefers to make our choices for us.

In the sense that the U.S. liberated Iraq.

Are you advocating evicting the Palestinians from the land they live on?

As for those "Palestinians" who are terrorists, or support terrorism, I advocate killing them. As for those who aspire to live in freedom and are ready to pay due respect for the rights of their fellow individuals, I advocate admitting them as citizens.

As you might know, there are already a number of civilized, freedom-loving Arabs living in Israel. Not very many, but there are a few.

LOL Fair enough. Let me rephrase this as "Bring them to court, produce the evidence against them, and if they are found guilty of war crimes, execute them."

Are you proposing that Arabs and Jews have equal rights and equal privileges in the West Bank?

Equal rights for those, and those only, who respect the rights of others.
