The USA's support of Israel is definetly a fueler of anti-US sentiment in the middle east, a more even handed approach to the issue would surely lower hatred. As mentioned above, moderation is the key. The issue isn't really the cause of international terrorism, what caused this phenomenon was failed states after the cold war, as well as a terrorist response to their enemy on the enemies playing field, a global one (after the stationing of US troops in Saudi Arabia). International terrorism no longer has a national objective, rather an international one, due to the internationalisation of our current uni-polar world, it is directed at the one pole.
I think that a two state solution isn't liable in the current situation of distrust and the unwillingness to make concessions. A single state solution is also not feasible, although i think less concessions would have to be made then.
