Israel controls no strategic resources, unlike the other allies the USA has in the Middle East. Your comment completely ignores the long history Israel has of rigging the US elections by funding their pet congressmen. | ||

> Israel controls no strategic resources Israel is, to use a Pacific-theatre term, our unsinkable aircraft carrier. A better Pakistan. > long history Israel has of rigging the US elections by funding their pet congressmen Americans were, until recently, pro Israel. The funding worked because amplifying anti-Israeli sentiments among electeds lost them votes. Now that that balance of perceptions has shifted, the effect has as well. And note that pro-Israel != Israel; lots of America pro-Israeli influence is entirely homegrown. | ||
