In my opinion, the primary reason that the United States and Israel cannot and will not ever conduct any joint military venture anytime soon is simple: The Muslim mindset. They have a super-xenophobic and hyper anti-nonmuslim attitude. Muslims do worse to their fellow Muslims than any nonmuslim entity ever will, yet they barely react to such things. "Just an everyday thing, no big deal." Have any Muslim nations sent help to stop genocide in Sudan? Will they? Why do they seem to not care about Muslim genocide against their fellow Muslims?? But nonmuslim entities like the USA and Israel are given no leniency, period.

I'd have to disagree with MMarsh about needing to engage more in diplomatic talks with the Palestinian leadership. I think that by electing Hamas to preside over their government, the Palestinians have disappointed a lot of advocates of peace and reconciliation throughout the world. But the election of the Hamas government was a direct result of diplomatic dialogue with Israel. Israel agreed to let the Palestinians elect their own government and without Israel's cooperation, it would have never been possible. The Muslims of the world will continue to damn Israel for the Palestinian people's repression, as will the rest of the world. But let's remember that once they were given the chance at Democracy, they elected an organization of genocidal racial bigots to rule over them. That fact makes me quite a bit less sorry for their plight.

As far as seeing a union of all Islam pitted against the United States and Israel, I doubt it. There is far too little trust between neighboring tribes and neighboring nations in the Middle East. The USA and Israel could jointly invade Iran tomorrow and the Muslim world would be pissed. Very pissed. But they would not all unite. The radical elements within Islam would go balistic and we'd see unparallelled levels of worldwide terrorism. But no, they wouldn't unite against us.
