Of course, one of the demands for the US is to stop supporting Israel, which is to essentially say, "Sorry guys, you're on your own as far as the Arabs wanting to slaughter you all."
Of course, it would also free the Israelis to do what they want as far as the occupied territories go.
Which of course might lead some nations (like Iran) to conclude that the US wouldn't respond to an attack on Israel.
Of course, Israel might feel it necessary to respond with nukes, possibly pre-emptively if Iran had them.
So should we give in as well?

Youv'e thought this through. That's a rare quality.
We were the ones who armed the Isrealites. Well, it was the US and the UK. We paid for them to develope one of the lergest armys on the planet, and we gave them nuclear technology. We give somewhere in the neighborhood of $500 billion to Isreal every year. If we heald onto that, it could pretty much balance the budget in a few years, BTW. So what doies Isreal do in response to this wonderful support? They spy on us.
I say leave them to their own devices and tell them that if they decide to nuke, we'll blow them to kindgom come. That's americas standard stand on nuclear attacks. "You can have them, just don't use them. Actually, you're going to have to do what we say from now on", says Uncle(ar) Sam.
