    Nah. The USA has got troops in far friendlier and less problematic countries. The USA’s protection of Israel has more to do with Israel investing in American politics than whatever Israel contributes to America.

      We use Israel to cast our influence into the Middle East. Its definitely more than AIPAC contributions and political maneuvers.

        They’re casting an embarrassment. Nobody in the middle east is happy with the USA except Israel.
