"OTOH no longer will the rage be directed at Israel for the inability of the Muslim countries to compete. Where do they turn their anger next? Who do they blame for the considerable inefficiencies of Islam."

Probably not where you think. Maybe they'd start putting the blame where it belongs, with their leaders. They hate Israel for dispossessing their fellow Palestinian Arabs after stealing their land, and making them refugees in their homelands, not for the straw man reason YOU pose. Some Islamic countries work very well - consider the UAE, on track to be the world's top tourist destination by 2016.

At this time, supporting Israel above all other countries works against the interests of the United States. It's unfair, the entire world sees what our ENABLING of the Israelis causes, and it's just clearly wrong to any objective observer.
