IMHO, Israel is far from alone. We need a different kind of ally. The Jewish State is on the same boat with Armenia, Cyprus, South Sudan, Kurds, Alawites, Balluchi, Yazidi, and the innumerable denominations of Eastern Christians. These are our natural allies. The US is just another super power, and going to one mighty imperial power for protection from another has been done to death. We ingratiated ourselves with the ancient Persian court when it replaced the Babylonians in hegemony. We went to the Romans for protection from the post-Alexandrine Greeks. We went to the British for protection from the Ottomans. With the notable exception of the ancient Persians, each time, it inevitably backfired. At this particular juncture, we cannot go to the clueless US and its malevolent POTUS for protection from the resurgent Calliphate-ists. We must instead look to our fellow Eastern minorities for mutual protection. We could in time call this federation EMA (Eastern Minorities Alliance) once it has some muscles to flex. EMA’s time has come. The old paradigm is over. I think Israel’s diplomacy is evolving along these lines, whether or not we are aware of it.
Forgot to mention India among the list of EMA allies.
