Heck,
I guess if I were to pick any nation to be an ally, it would be Israel. Sure, they're about the size of NJ, but they've been able to handle (with a vengance) any conflict that has come against them. I have no doubt that they can fight their own battles. They have one of the, if not THE most battle ready militaries in the world, not to mention their intelligence gathering capabilities.
I don't know if you're a God fearing man or not, but the Bible makes it clear that Israel has a special deal going with God. Check out some of the prophecies in Revalations.
Reguardless, I don't think Israel needs our help...in fact, if anything, we've probably been holding them back from wiping out most of the Middle East with all the diplomatic talks that have been going on.
I don't understand why everybody rags on Israel. "Oh....big bad Israel is beating up on those poor Palestinian citizens!" Hell, take a look at it...Israel has only retaliated for acts done to its citzens and or military. Maybe if all those extremely bright people in the Middle East would stop throwing rocks at armed soldiers and tanks amd stop dropping bombs off at places crowded with Israeli citizens, they wouldn't get so messed up.
Reguardless...the United States has always backed Israel and always should, in my opinion. Besides, our relationship with Israel was only one more excuse for what happened in NY. If we had nothing to do with Israel...there are always other excuses.
Anway...my $.02 is finished....
