I agree. All Presidents are shackled by the big money donors. As long as that tail wags the dog, Palestinians are fucked.

The U.S. provides Israel $10.2 million* in military aid each day, ... Israel receives about $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year, which is roughly one-fifth of America's entire foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth about $500 per year.
