It doesn't "imply" that at all. I just say there is a strong Jewish lobby, and a huge Jewish voter-base. I am aware that many non-Jewish Americans also support the current way of going.

On the UNESCO decision, something else: there are the treaties of Oslo which explicitly have ruled that neither side should create facts changing the status of a Palestinian state unilaterally as long as this state does not result from mutal agreement in negotiations. This Oslo treaty, whatever it is worth, is being violated by the Palestinians as well, obviously.
