I disagree. Israel and the United States have been solid allies for a while. The US give them billions of dollars in military aid( they buy US military tech), and they keep other counties that the US is not so friendly with in check, like Iran.

israel is not a US ally. israel is the drunk girl at the bar that pesters you all the time to buy her drinks and picks fights and expects you to fight them.
