I do agree with you that supporting Israel antagonizes the Arabs and it probably even fuels groups like Hamas. But all things considered I don't think we'd be better off by cutting Israel off.
Our real reason for being over there has been oil. Part of it was cultivating friendly states to try and keep the Soviets out. And even with supporting Israel we got what we wanted from the oil states over there.
The US did support a white homeland for some decades - South Africa, and with much of the same methodology it has used to protect Israel: UN vetoes.
