    No, I do not. Israel is in a unique position, a Jewish nation in the middle of dominant Islamic nations. The US is not in that position. I do believe the more exclusive support the US gives to Israel, the more likely the US will become a target of forces that oppose Israel's existence. However, the US can mitigate any perception by those Islamic nations that it only supports Israel with smart behavior. That does not include taking the exclusive advice of the PM of Israel on how to deal with nations in the ME.

    I hope Americans do not believe Israel will actually help the US in any way. Israel aligns itself with the US because the US is useful to Israel. It is possible Israel would cease to exist without aid from the US. The US does not need Israel, never has and never will. Before 1948 when Israel was established as a nation, the US had good relationships with ME nations. Of course many other upheavals occured in the ME since 1948, including dissolution of colonial powers in the ME and the rise of nationalism among the nations there.
