10. Mostly I get it from our directly-stated opposition to the Palestinian's UN bid

How about this; the US opposes any Palestinian state that is not created according to the terms set by Israel. Same idea, but a little more accurate in wording.

And yes, I know that Americans will not hesitate to watch any number of Arabs die in order to save a couple cents at the pump. I don't believe that this is something to shrug over, however.

As for negotiations... Are you at all interested in a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine, Mosby? I assume you are, so allow me to explain to you... there will be no peace without an equitable resolution. Such a resolution will not be garnered by a powerful negotiator demanding terms of a weaker "partner." That may buy a few quiet years, but the chafing will lead to more unrest, more violence, and a renewal of the problems we've been looking at all this time.
