@cheesefrysamurai: Replying to @user America having a seat at the mid east table is important strategically. You think the region would be neutral or just anti Israel if America wasn’t there? Nope. It would be owned by those seeking to expand their hegemony and influence like Russia and China. America doesn’t run the Middle East, but China or Russia would likely push for that and wouold have the ability to choke the worlds energy supply. Israel wants America to be on top. Keep that in mind. Their interests are aligned beyond aid.
