Interesting analysis, and one with which I have some sympathy.

However, is this "let them fight" but with one side massively financed and politically guaranteed by the world's only superpower, or should everyone else get the heck out?

Because it's not really a fight in doubt, if the former case, is it? Just an extirpation, aka as a final solution.

Here's a hypothetical to play with:

If the US withdrew all subsidies and unconditional support to the Israeli state, would they talk constructively, fight unrestrainedly, or shrug?
