Well, what you have written here may be just the reason the Middle East boil continues to fester.

It's the chain we all know. US domestic politics conflicts with international wants. The US is perceived by everyone to be complicit in the Palestinian tragedy. In turn, this enrages other members of the umma, who cannot influence what happens in their own neighbourhood. Powerless people with a grievance, no outlet and who see no prospect of progress by legitimate means find a way to communicate violently.
