The thought about Israel losing American support is crucial if not suicidal and only compounded if they attack a people who don't even have a country.
The world would turn away in disgust. Face it . We love the underdog, the victim. Now we would have a different type of victim.
And the Senate? I think that no matter how much someone is or can ardently support the pro-Israeli cause, when push comes to shove, even those in the Senate have to answer to someone. A ride to the Senate doesn't come without strings attached and if popular opinion doesn't side with whom they support, in this case the Israeli's, the ride could get bumpy.
As for a solution, a world body has to tell both sides where the boundaries are. If they don't like it, they stand a chance of losing everything. Both sides.
Imagine the Palestinian's never to have a country. The gypsies of the world. The scum of the earth. Or the Israeli's without a country. It was a gift from the world. Celebrated. You don't play by the world body rules, your statehood will be revoked. How then would we tell either side apart? Would we even give a shit?
But it will never happen.
