They've been the useful tools of various moneyed interests in the Middle East for about six decades. If they need aid, there are wealthy Arabs all over the middle east to whom 200 million is chump change, and they don't like the Israelis any more than the Palestinian groups do.
For that matter, why are we still bribing the Israelis and Egyptians each year not to have war with each other?
Stop paying that extortion money, now. (That's about 3 billion to Israel and 2-3 for Egypt, and goes back a piece agreement from the 70's. That's enough time for both of those countries to grow up.
Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the Men 'O War!
