Though for the record, I would totally let someone else be Israel's deep pockets.

If I were the US, i'd be trying to get closer to Turkey.

Not as rock solid as Israel would be, but Turkey actually has the power to influence the middle east... and likely in the most positive ways of the main powers trying to gain regional influence.

If they can remove the MB extremist influence... it's really the best ally at advancing the region in a more modern pro west friendly way. Plus with Greece destroying it's own economy Europe and the US have the perfect leverage to tell them to shut the hell up.


I cannot think of a single candidate who has run that has opposed aid to Israel. Even the libratarian minded senator form my state Rand Paul has stopped saying cut off aid after few years of being Washington.

I do not consider us allies, we (the United States) bend the near to Israel.
