I don't wish Israel would go away but I do wish the US would not turn a blind eye to some of the more outrageous things that Israel does ranging from its brutal treatment of Palestinians to the continuous expropriation of land for settlements. A more even-handed approach by the US including a willingness to take punitive action against Israel when it flagrantly breaks the law would go a long way in the US being viewed as an "honest broker" by the Palestinians and other Arabs.

What do we as a nation gain in the blind support that we give Israel on just about everything?

How about blind support for Palestine? Yesterday paper said we provide 400 million a year in aid? Does it occur to people we support both countries and are trying to move a peace process forward. Kidnapping killing teens, building expensive tunnels full of syringes and army uniforms probably did not help the pal cause.

"Blind support for Palestine?" Are you dreaming? If the US blindly supported Palestine, this thread wouldn't exist because the US wouldn't be trying to prevent an investigation into war crimes.

Oh, you seriously have got to be kidding.
