Some very Solomonic musings in here. I should respectfully point out a few things:
1. The status quo is not a neutral status for America to take.
2. A neutral status, should America take it, would likely not lend itself to a neutral outcome.
3. There is a very clear and very persistent set of injustices here --all at the expense of the Palestinians, who have been rendered bereft of land, state, dignity, economic advancement, security, and many human rights. That this is done in the name of Judaism makes me (Tikkun Olam NUMBER ONE GET SOME!) --a snippy Jew-- very sad.
tl;dr
I get the isolationist impulse; and America's unilateral dealings on balance tend to be more bad than good. But! I would cautious that the interstice between weaponized indifference and the elegant and structural racism and classism of the Israeli colonial experiment (and what else can we call Gaza and the West bank but that) is a grave injustice indeed.
Or y'know.
Let Allah/Yahweh sort it all out.
Same diff.

Am I the only one who finds that eerie?
