The middle East supplies a huge quantity of the world's oil - if we stopped buying it from them the price of gas would skyrocket and a world wide depression would probably ensue.
As for the issues in the OP, Israel has annexed land from the Arabs, blockaded Gaza among other things, also carried out summary executions without trial of Arab leaders. Understandably the Arabs aren't particularly happy about this, but lobbing rockets into Israel, controlled by an extreme right-wing government and in control of the biggest military in the region, was only going to bring about one response, and they got it.
Hamas also has in its charter that it wants the complete obliteration of the Jewish state - the absurdity of this position points to the fact that what has happened over time is the gradual radicalisation of each sides position in response to each new atrocity. Can't see any winners going forward in this situaiton, just more death and destruction.
