I am not sure that I agree with your last sentence. Israel has a history of doing what it wants, even if it has to stand alone. The Gulf War was indeed the first time Israel has ever held back from defending itself. I'm not sure they will feel the result was in their best interests.
I am glad that we are an ally of Israel. They are, and always have been, a formidable opponent. It is in OUR best interest to be on THEIR side.
No matter the "why" of the situation or the "who is allied with whom" of it, the US and Israel should work together to change the governments of the Arab nations.
That is not true. In each of the Arab/Israeli wars the Jews stopped when we told them to. They are a puppet state of the United States. They get to play independent for home political consumption. But that is it. In international affairs what you see is not often what you get. Israel is so dependant on us that Bill Clinton got away with sending his crew to Israel to control the outcome its national election for president. Carville accomplished that job and the Jews never opened their mouth. Bibi was defeated because bill Clinton wanted him defeated. The party and the candidate that lost that election said nothing. Puppets on a string just have to take it.
Israel is not independent. They have to receive a huge amount of money from the United States every year. They are very dependant on the United States for their existance. With out us, the Israeli economy colapses. Their gross national product can not support their huge defense costs. They would starve or be defeated with out us. The French and Germans would help the Arabs kill all the Jews. If you think hatrid of Jews is over in Europe you have not been to Europe for a while.
He who pays the piper calls the tune. Israel is about the only nation on the face of the earth where we still pay the piper. And guess what ... we call their tune. Clinton called a differnt tune but he called it just the same.
