As one of only a few working democracies in the middle east, the west needs to continue supporting Israel. That does not mean the support should be carte blanche.
The US needs to work to keep Israel progressive and they need to ensure that Israel gets back to the table with Palestine.
At the same time, Palestine needs to get their collective heads out of their assess. The deal that was on the table at the end of the Clinton administration was a good opening offer. It gave Palestine 90 to 95% of what they wanted. Their response, instead of a counter-offer, was suicide bombings.
Neither side has clean hands in this affair.
