Israel's military might is extremely over-assessed...but they have nukes, and we keep those from other countries in the region, further pissing off the middle east. We like Saudi for oil, but they're too extreme for nukes. We like India for jobs, but we can't have them nuking Pakistan so we install officials there who won't nuke everyone else and give them nukes to offset India.
No, the truth is, without our support Israel would become a bloodbath. If we didn't tell Israel to try and keep it calm, they'd expand their borders to the Euphrates because that's where they think it really lies.
I'd love to see Saudi and Israel fall.
