The problem with cutting aid to Israel is that the only thing stopping Israel from committing even more violence is the western support they receive. The current Israeli government is as right wing as the country has ever seen. The defense minister is a proud supporter of terrorism against palestinians and even israeli's who support palestinians. He believes god gave the west bank and the entire levant to the jews. If Israel's international relations soured they would quickly come to the conclusion that they have nothing to lose and no reason not to enact their "final solution to the palestinian problem".
