“I would suggest to you that Israel is really America East. It is a place where American Money is used to build an economy and a military and it is fully in cooperation with the US Mission overall.”
You might want to review your US history. While Israel has never been an enemy of America, the American government was incredibly hostile to Israel during the Eisenhower administration, threatening war during the Suez crisis and pursuing an alliance with Iraq, then as now in a state of “hot war” with Israel. Fortunately Kennedy came to power in 1961 and started to change all that.
