If you want to make US citizens safe from Arab terrorism, simply quit supporting Israel militarily, and instead treat the Arab nations on an equal footing with Israel.

"...treat the Arab nations on an equal footing with Israel."

I'll try and be polite about this. It ain't going to happen because Israel is a democracy and most Arab states are tyranical failures. These Arab states will do just about anything not to face up to their failure. You are suggesting the US aid them in this.

What you are suggesting is that US policy enable these countries be even more rotten than they are now and at the same time make the state of a functioning democracy more perilous.

Most Arab states should not be treated equally with Israel because they are inferior. Their regimes don't allow political headroom (which is the major source of most terrorism), are kleptocracies and vastly unmodern and dedicated to remaining that way. In such a state of development they are the natural enemies of the US and the West and should be treated as such.

It's not US activity which has generated Arab terrorism but, rather, those of the failed Arab states. Whether or not the US supports Israel miltarily, it will be the object of terrorist attacks because it the world's largest examplar of modernity.
