I don't think it is truly in our best interest to side with Israel on this particular issue.

You'll have to do better than that to convince me.

Until such time as the nation of Israel can come to some kind of conclusion as to who has the right to settle the areas - besides their own claims - than I think they should stop building there. Basically, they're not helping their cause, or ours, IMO.

One only needs to go back and look at who the "Palestinians" are, and what they're courses of action have been re: the settlements to clear the Jews for the what they've done.
It appears to be popular now to show disrespect for the wishes of the Israelis, but has not always been so with this Country.
Of course, the Country is for the first time being forced to accept policies and legislation that the majority clearly has no desire for, is being presided over by someone who may not even be American (nearly half the Country believes he's not), and other "firsts". Logically, disdain for Israel by the current government comes as no surprise, but that doesn't mean the situation won't bite them in the ass with any less viciousness.
You don't mess with the Zohan.

Horror in Samaria: Terrorist murders family of 5
Yair Altman
Latest Update: 03.12.11, 06:20 / Israel News
Horror in Samaria: A terrorist infiltrated the West Bank settlement of Itamar, southeast of Nablus, early Saturday and stabbed five family members to death.
The shocking attack occurred around 1 am as the terrorist entered the family home and murdered three children aged 11, 3, and a baby girl along with their parents. The victims were apparently sleeping as the killer came in.
Full story...

Long before WWI, and following the hijacking of the terms “Palestine” and “Palestinian” by the PLO, and other Arabs, the terms were analogous to “Israel” and “Jew,” which is evident from simple historical facts, such as Newspaper archives pre 1914 - Articles from Hashkafa, or from Habazeleth, which published articles from Jerusalem, and are, inexhaustible sources of information on the happenings of Jewish Israel around the timeframe of which you speak…

Can you spare me a copy of the protocols…LOL
FWIW, this book is well worth reading, she set out on a journey with an ax to grind but found out her ideas were flawed:

The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle {JIHAD} against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism.

Please clarify. What is the " what"?

The original deeds to all that property are inscribed in clay tablets - and none of them are in Aramaic, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, or Latin.
Life in the ME is an ' occupation-al' hazard...and affirms the olde adage that the only thing more expensive than an education is a lack of one.
