To be honest, being an ally of Israel hasn't gotten us much of anything. We've been at war on two fronts for quite a while. Going to war with Iran, when Israel is very capable of taking care of whatever problem arises, just doesn't make since. Of course we can help them out with logistics, but Afghanistan is taking an unbelievable amount of resources from us. We get into another full-fledged war, Afghan will be forgotten once again.

We've has Israel's back many more times than they've had ours. The way their government is going about defense is crazy. They have top officials discussing war plans and scenarios, not to mention the ridiculous POW trade.

To be honest, being Israel's ally has gotten us more trouble than we need. We are the most hated nation on earth, because of our support of Israel. The only reason the USA stands behind Israel at all cost, is because of the bible. I can see having an allies back, and them having ours(which Israel doesn't, and never has), is if we are of a benefit to each other, like we are with Britain. But like you said, what benefit has being an ally with Israel gotten us? Nothing, really. It has only hurt us in the worlds eyes. Like you said, Israel can handle Iran, they don't need us in it.
