Peters said that Israel is not perfect: “This is not a question of giving in to everything that Israel wants; Israel screws up too. But [American policy must] be a balanced approach that takes into account that Israel, for all its many faults is the only rule of law, democracy and respecter of human rights in the entire Middle East; they are part of our civilization. To turn away from Israel as we are doing is not going to help our diplomacy; it is going to hurt our civilization.”

How about a balanced approach that says that the rule of law, democracy, immigration based on all men (regardless of religious belief) being equal, and respect for human rights are part of our civilization?

America doesn't need to "support" Israel, or any other ME country. Let the countries and people of the ME reap the seeds that they have sewn, and we'll do the same while watching baseball, eating hot dogs, and enjoying the fruits of our constitution. Their fight is not our fight.
