Will the USA allow the destruction of Israel; no. Can we control Israel's actions, absolutely. Do we need Israel; no. Does Israel need us; yes.

In 1948, the Palestinians had a chance to have their own country. The UN Resolution that created Israel also set aside land for a Palestinian nation. The Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world declined. They wanted no Israel nation to exist at all, and were planning on simply killing it when it was setup.
They lost.
They tried again in 1967. Lost again. Israel takes the spoils of war and occupies land so that it can't be used as a launching pad for similar acts of aggression in the future.
2000 - Israel offers to make huge concessions to the Palestinians, including land for their own country. Palestine declines, and orders more suicide bombings.
The Palestinians had their chances. The Arabs and the Palestinians have always refused the path of peace until they realize they simply can't kill Israel and then start bleating about how unfair life is.
