As horrible as it will end up, I think America needs to

[Seeking Serenity]

Come out and say something to the effect of:

Look, we have long supported the creation and maintenance of a Jewish state. We were one of the first countries to recognise the State of Israel in 1948. As time went on during the Cold War, we supported Israel as a hedge against the Soviet Union, which was making overtures to Arab countries like Egypt.

And we have meddled far too much in that region of the world. Today, we're ending all of that. We'll start the process of closing our bases in Arabia, the presence of which, has enraged (some) Muslims as being a heresy or something.

Furthermore, we can no longer hold the reins on Israel, which we've done for decades. And the Palestinian Arabs wouldn't listen to us even if we had the perfect solution (which we don't), for good reason.

It is time for Israel and the Arab/Persian world to resolve their conflict on their own. We see now, as we'd never wanted to see before, that we can't solve their problems for them, and, save for the Camp David Accords, we can't divine a truce or a peace plan for them.

May God, in His divine grace, have mercy on us all.


Something like that.
