I'll ask you the same question I asked of Skinnypig. How much has Israel help us during our last 10 years? I don't remember reading about their military being used against Iraq or Afghanistan helping us. Where was our friend, as you say, for us?

Israel helping in the US in the middle east would be throwing gasoline on the fire. It's the same reason we held them out after the First Persian Gulf war.
If asked they would have helped us in a second even playing their own security on the line
