Simplistic solutions won't work.
We have a special bond with the nation of Israel and have since they were founded as a nation in 1948. I won't bore everyone with all the historical facts, but we will never desert this staunch friend in the middle-east.
Israel does not ask for our soldiers to fight for them, they can do that quite well for themselves, but we do supply them with the arms needed to fend off attacks from a dozen other hostile nations. That is only reasonable.
The Arab nations that claim Irsael is the point of their discontent with America are lying. Yes, they hate Israel, but if Israel disappeared tomorrow and every Jew left that part of the world, the Arabs, especially the radical Islamic nations, would still hate the U.S., so abandoning Israel is no panacea for peace in the mid-east.
