Looks like allying with Israel has only been detrimental to the US. It's been great for Zionists who need the US' protection, though.

Osama bin Laden cited US' support for Israel as one of the reasons for the 9/11 attacks.

Think about the billions, or perhaps trillions, of dollars the US has lost out on because of its support of Israel.

We need to drop them like a bad habit.

Okay, what's your point? I'm stating a fact. They have high strategic value. I don't need to be convinced that it's expensive or risky

Re-read my comment until it makes sense.

I was very clear about my point from the very beginning.

I re read it. I still don't see why you decided to respond to me stating a fact with a rant. I don't really care about your opinion and I'm not here to debate whether the US should still support Israel.

You say they have value as an ally. What benefit has the alliance had for the US? Did Israel contribute soldiers to Iraq or Afghanistan? Did Israel support the Obama administration’s JCPOA or did they try to undermine it and kill it?

It’s a one-way alliance.
