1. Remember: U.S. military support is "conditional"
Shep ,   Memphis   (02.25.16)
I am quite certain that the Pentagon allowed Israel to use the inventory in the U.S military's warehouses in Israel during Operation Protective Edge in Gaza - knowing that when Obama found out he would give orders to lock up the facility - which he did AFTER Israel had already emptied it of every usable missile. Bottom Line: Israel must be prepared to carry a war on 2 fronts for at least 6 weeks BY ITSELF. It really doesn't matter WHO is in the White House. The dysfunction in DC, the hostility by parts of the Democratic party, and the perception that the USA is not a reliable ally must be considered in a "worst case" war scenario between Israel and her enemies. The Obama administration is, according to reports of an arms embargo against Saudi Arabia - preparing to throw the Saudi government under the bus, much like they did to Mubarak in Egypt. Israel must see this American "pivot" towards Iran and Russia as an omen that is not "good news".

4. Who says that it's for Israel's benefit?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (02.25.16)
For all we know Israel is nothing more than a testing ground for the US military's capability to deal with Iran regime and Hizbollah missile attacks on the USA from Obama's new buddy,Cuba. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
5. Despite Obama's hatred of Israel, the US & Israel are allies
C   (02.26.16)
the united states congress and the united states military know that israel is the most democratic and reliable american ally in the entire middle east. the minority foreign policy establishment that wants to stop this alliance will not succeed. israel's geographical position, connecting three continents and protecting trade and oil routes, makes israel a vital us ally. american general population and their representatives know that the jewish state is part of the judeo-christian ethic.
6. happy to help augment your defensive systems
