US will not force Israel and Palestinians to come to terms and settle and will continue to support Israel with funds and aids to carry on as they wish..
Well, for one, it's not the responsibility of the US to "force" the Israelis and Palestinians to come to terms. Forcing them to live together will only put the blame upon the US when they don't get along.
Secondly, the US has been providing BOTH Israel and the Palestinians with funds, although the funds to the PA have been cut off due to their obvious support for terrorism.
Thirdly, Israel is a democracy.. The Palestinian Authority is not. This directly impacts how each government creates and implements policy.
Fourthly, the Palestinian Authority, no matter what it's geographical borders or size, cannot exist economically without Israeli markets and infrastructure. They are have little ability to sustain themselves without massive international subsidization of their economy, whereas Israel, were it not required to spend so much on their national defense, would likely no longer require US foreign assistance.
But I agree with you, it is a depressing state of affairs.. However, I have little desire to see it become even worse through the creation of a non-democratic and militant Palestinian State.
That would solve nothing and only further encourage Arab governments to continue to use Palestinians as pawns for their anti-Israeli bigotry.
