Your response creates some questions. When referring to the Palestinians, do you think Hillary Clinton would support them?
Neither Clinton nor Trump would have much influence on Israel, Fata or Hamas. The "two state solution" died years ago when Israel decided to move into the West Bank and occupy the land and take the resources. There is very little chance anyone could influence Israel to move back to the 1967 lines, give up control of that most crucial resource, water, control of land, and to relinquish control of Eretz Israel in face of the current overwhelming religious currents in Israel. Not even to get into the issue of Jerusalem.
As to the Middle East, would greater military response or some other approach be more effective? The US won't
know until action is taken. Neither Clinton nor Trump has really proposed anything and I'll bet neither do before the election. What we win hear is the usual words without meaning, and the usual words to mollify the voters who support Israel.
My opinion-Clinton, if elected, will be inclined toward military force.
