"The WB is gone."

Why? They become Palestinian citizens. A lot of it has happened while Netanyahu says "I want peace, they don't, build more, build faster". We need to force them, thru the power of the purse string. They don't have to do what we want, but we don't have to give them money if they don't. If a pol was to take that kind of a stance, there might be some significant support.
This is a bit old, so it prolly underestimates how much.

First the good news: Influential Jews are against settlement expansion 3 to 1
Philip Weiss on March 23, 2009 31

The new J Street poll has some fascinating findings re the complexity of Jewish attitudes re Israel.

First the good news. 60 percent of American Jews are against expanding the settlements and the same number say the Gaza war didn't gain anything. When you break out the subgroup of "political donors," i.e., influential Jews, the number who oppose settlement expansion rises to 72 percent. Jews are well-informed. Avigdor Lieberman has a shocking 62 percent name recognition–I think he could give Jon Stewart a run for his money–and
about 1/3 say that Lieberman having a cabinet portfolio would weaken
their personal connection to Israel. As I noted earlier, 40 percent of those under 30 say that Lieberman in the cabinet would weaken their connection to Israel.
