In MHO, Israel does nothing to benefit us in the mid east. Not when we lose welcome everywhere else simply because we favor the most hated nation in the mideast.
All the various Arab and Palestinians want is a US neutral policy, when we are perceived as having a very pro Israeli policy, we immediately become the enemy to everyone else
in the region.
As for the wiped off the map stuff, it means wiping off the map only the gains made in the 1967 war, not wiping out the State of Israel per 1948 borders.
But my prediction is as follow, if Israel does not get real and negotiate, long term, the State of Israel will not exist long term. If Israel wants all they will end up with none.
