For this I hold the US responsible because, instead of acting as an "honest broker" and arbitrating fairly, it has come down on Israel's side and thus has enabled Israeli/Likud fanatics to do as they please.

I agree. The U.S. does share responsibility for what's going on in Isreal. Isreal couldn't exist without U.S. financial support. The U.S. has not treated the Palestians with the same degree of support. The U.S. has enabled some of the more extreme elements in Isreal to do as they please. I also agree that it is in the entire world's interst to settle the Isreali/Palestinian issue as soon possible. It certainly effects politics and conflicts everywhere, including the U.S. and should be dealt with immediately. If the U.S. pulls 50% of Isreal's aid ($2 Billion or so), how fast do you think they'd be sitting at the table with the Palestinians suing for peace? How about if we withheld all of it and told Isreal to get their house in order and settle the conflict. The conflict would be over before the Presidential election this fall. Money talks, bull@$%# walks. The U.S. should use our financial leverage to force a settlement.
