Jerome, I HAVE been to BOTH Israel AND the West Bank, in fact, just recently in June. I even took a trip in a bullet proof bus through a "hot" zone near Jerusalem.

I can tell you that dropping support for Israel, which is what you are really saying, will mean the end of Israel yet without any benefit to the USA. It would NOT mean the end of our problems with the Arab world, as I specifically demonstrate by reminding you about the Iran-US Embassy siege, the Iran-Iraq War and the Iraq-Kuwait invasion.

So, while I respect your posts here and your opinions, your "I don't know what to do but we should mind our own business" post is naive. As distasteful as supporting Israel may be for some Americans, it's the least nasty alternative.
