if i were pres, i'd support isreal pretty much as it is now. i'd try to nudge them, gently, into allowing the palestinians to build up their infrastructure and have a better standard of living with basic necessities like water, roads, etc., but i would not remove aid from isreal. i would try to increase humanitarian aid to the palestinians. from my understanding, right now the second largest amount of aid we give is too egypt (second to isreal) because they're willing to play nice (although i'd also want to try to get them to stop teaching to hate jews in school). i think helping the palleys out more might also help turn terrorrism off to some people, they might see the palleys doing better and think "gee, if they'll do that to them for playing well with others, maybe they'll help us out."
