This is silly Carl. The support of the American people and Congress to Israel should tell you it is silly. Americans support Israel because of shared values and shared cultural history. Most of the Arabs in this country are Christian and most of the Muslims are not Arab. The turning of political sympathies you describe is hardly even on the horizon.

"When the US population decides that an ally isn't doing us any good, and isn't that likely to be around forever, the US eventually cuts off the ally. It's not going to be this coming election or even the one after that, but eventually you will see the US tire of supporting Israel and dumping her the same way the US dumped South Africa. And then? Maybe Europe will rescue you. But more likely you'll make a deal with the Arabs similar to the deal that the white South Africans made." Wouldn't this be GOOD for Israel, the ME and us? It was certainly good for South Africa.
