Israel’s interests do not always align with America’s but they have been a very valuable ally. They were the first and one of the only Nations to support the USA after 9/11. Israel is our only dependable ally in the Middle East. We would be very foolish indeed to weaken those ties.
Israel is a small and geographically vulnerable country but in terms of military intelligence and the ability to forestall rogue nations from nuclear attacks there is no one better. For the aid we give them we receive value in return unlike the majority of the other nations we squander American $ on.
This is another indication of Ramaswamy’s total unsuitability as POTUS and frankly shocking. Seems more like an Obama, Biden position than one for a President who wants to keep America safe.
All good points in my opinion. You touched on a number of
good reasons even comparatively for Israel to get support
from us.
Israel does tweak us from time to time, but they have to
make decisions based on their national needs, like we do.
Sometimes we may talk past each other and have a dust up,
but at the end of the day, Israel knows who will be there
for it, when it needs them.
Biden is an ass, but either Trump or someone else will be
back to watch Israel’s back. They know it.

Exactly right. Vivek slipped up, which is rare for His Glibness, and showed his true colors. He says exactly what he thinks will please the most people and usually chooses his words very carefully. Not here though. He blew it, like DeSantis saying “listless vessels”. And he will suffer the repercussions.
