much more often than not Israel's interests coincide or overlap with ours. For example, both countries share a common interest in hunting down and destroying the various Islamofascist terrorist organizations that infest that part of the world. Which Al Qaeda terrorists has Israel tracked down and destroyed? Seems to me they are focusing on those terrorists that are attacking them, all the time probably chuckling to themselves about now you Americans know what we have have putting up with.
Israel is fighting terrorist groups who have been responsible for numerous deaths of Americans, as well as Israelis.
