Considering a good deal of what I've read about actual Israeli policing I certainly hope we don't have those values*.
Additionally I'm still wondering what Israel provides in strategic support. The terrorists who target Israel largely aren't the same as the ones who target the U.S. Whenever Israel uses force the U.S gets to share the blame for anything that goes wrong. Israel's economy isn't large enough to care about. Israel makes it hard to work with Egypt and Turkey. Israel's nuclear weapons, much like India's and Pakistan's nuclear weapons, put everyone in danger. The only thing I can think of is shared intelligence, and if memory serves Israel paid Pollard a good deal for information on America. Not quite the most trustworthy intelligence relationship.

*Since it's impossible to take an independent stance here because every single Israeli and/or Palestinian** insists you blindly accept their rhetoric let me make this clear. I'm no friend to either side, I don't like either side and I don't want to hear the typical soapbox claims. If you're going to demonize me, at least be creative about it.
** As well as the outsiders who insist on giving far more weight to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict than it actually deserves.

I have never heard of a country, said to have atomic weapons and delivery system to match equal to that of their sponsors, Jewish (deep pocket) Lobby dictated, meek and politically insecure American empire.

Oops, American empire is crumbling, grumbling, tumbling, even as we speak. The past is the past. Wars, especially, of foreign kind, that proved to the world by American war machines did not stop North Korea from developing sufficient atomic weapons. India did not stop from developing the same power. Pakistan followed swiftly after Pokhran-II. South Africa entered into this atomic weapon frenzy.

Did India cared about the strict sanctions? Not by my reckoning. Russians are free to lend hand to India and Iran in erecting new atomic power plants. French and British are not far behind in doing so.

If not these known countries having developed the art and the science, (politically speaking) of spreading the manure the world, according to Obama, would be a better place.

Don't mess with Iran. Or else get ready for the Armamentgeddon.

Why do you think realists would predict alliance would dissolve due to a leadership change? If alliances form due to an alignment of interests and a common threat, who is leader of a country should not matter. So do you think it is odd that NATO survived the change from Truman to Eisenhower? Carter to Reagan?

Geez Dan, this is IR101....whats up?

Now this does not imply I think the US-Israeli alliance is based upon realist logic...in fact it seems to me it has always flown in the face of realism given our other interests in the ME

The Isreal- American relationship is unbreackable as the chain put around the neck of American politicans by AIPAC. You are right, leaders may change but Isreali control of the US congress and the election proccess will enduer.
