As long as many Arabs and their governments want Israel destroyed, along with all the Israelis inside... I see no reason for the US to come in with a neutral stance. How can you be neutral when one country is fighting for it's very survival, while others want it gone?
The Palestinian issue was created by the Arabs as a means to put pressure on Israel, and as a means of diverting their own population's attention away from their pathetic lives. There wouldn't have been a Palestinian problem had the Arabs left Israel in peace; instead they decided to attack the state *three* times in the past 50-60 years.
As for the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians: in normal conditions, I would disapprove of Israeli actions. However, with the Palestinians attacking Israeli civilians on a daily basis, I can't blame Israel for fighting back. And yes, I do know that part of the Palestinian terror stems from the Israeli occupation itself; yet, without occupation, there would still be terror attacks - Hamas and their kin want Israel *gone*.
And of course, I could ask: why aren't the Arabs angry at the equally brutal treatment of Kurds by Arab governments and their armies? Why aren't they angry at the treatment of Arab rebel groups fighting Arab governments? Why are the Palestinians so special to them? Could it be that they're only interested because it's Jews (and their Western backers) fighting Muslims? Could it be that most of that attention and anger is managed by their own government and media??? (Yes and yes, I'd say)
