well in this case, our stated goal is a workable peace with the Palestinians.
I’m trying to think what our other goals are in respect to Israel. (leaving side political forces, like the various lobbies out of it)
Well peace with people who don’t want it isn’t realistic, but if we don’t support Israel the Chinese would love a Mediterranean port & wouldn’t let a few pesky natives stand in the way… no I think our goals are more complicated than that.
