I hope you're right. But AIPAC and other Israeli lobbying organizations sure don't make it seem so. I'm not sure our politicians think that's the case.

One thing about the AIPAC lobby in the US - the Arabs have just as much ability to build an equally powerful Arab lobby in the US, and with Saudi Arabia's gushing oil funds, probably have much, much more money to do it with. But they haven't. So in that sense the AIPAC lobby gets what it wants while the Arab lobby doesn't. Looked at that way - the US rewards effort, which is a good thing. If the Arabs REALLY wanted to solve the Palestine issue, they could spend and lobby and spend and lobby and market the Palestine story until they were equally (if not more) powerful than AIPAC, and get a solution to the Israel-Pal problem (or at least get the US to be more even handed). But they don't make that effort or spend those funds. So along with being upset with the powerful AIPAC lobby you can be upset with the Arabs lack of will to solve their own problem.
