Regardless those grossof the rights and wrongs of it Arabs will always consider the US and Israel as the enemy.
Or to use a previous example the UK is in no place to act as a neutral party between Protestant and catholic Irish no matter how well intentioned they are.

This isn't remotely true. The biggest arab powers, the Saudis, are strong US allies. So are the Egyptians and Jordanians. If the US gave up support for Israel, groups like ISIS would still besobsand still want to kill Americans. Americans would not want to appease those groups anyways.
