<<Can you guess how much I or the rest of the US gives a sh*t about an Israeli backlash?>>

Yes, I don't think the US has the ability to deal with an Israeli backlash, for geo-political and cultural reasons.

Jews established themselves during the civil rights period as the rising star victims of American oppression against minorities. The US Parented the establishment of the Nation of Israel and supported it to long term success. The two cultures are inseperably entwined. Israel is taking off with unprecidented success. There are personal, cultural, and religious dependencies. It really appears to be a Parent, Child relationship, typical of most. It is acceptable for the one in the child role to have some screw ups during its development but Parents aren't supposed to be repremanded or punished at the hands of a child.

So,
1) The US could not deal with the backlash of being accused of mistreating the oppressed minority (still a valid Icon)
2) The two nations are not ready for the role switch.
