Between THIS congress not giving a shit what THIS President says or does, THIS congress is merely representing their constituents when they favor Israel. The yearly Gallup poll on this (posted several times last week), shows VERY strong support among Americans - all demographics - over the Palestinians. They would be going against their own people if they did what you suggest. It seems many Americans are able to separate Israel the country from Israel's current leader. Here's the bad news for anyone who wants the US to turn away from Israel (a teeny minority).
