For if this happens all intelligence coming from Israel about what's happening in the Middle East will have to come from where???

We are not talking about Iraq here or Desert Storm when Israel was told to stand down.
If the Muslim terrorist turns toward Israel and pushes Israel will push back hard and not under the watchful eye of America the gloves will come off., so if some oil gets destroyed so what?
Israels soldiers are just has valuable has American soldiers or any soldier defending their country.
In short don't start nothin won't be nothin.

We have multiple allies, actually. Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Jordan.

Israel comes with a lot more baggage than the others though.

Well Kuwait called us when Iraq invaded, I didn't see too many Kuwait tanks or soldiers in Desert Storm.

Then there's Saudi Arabia who's people just happen to be flying planes on 9/11.

As far as the UAE two words gas prices.

TAKE AWAY THE MONEY FOR OIL FROM THESE SO CALLED ALLIES THEY WOULDN'T GIVE US THE TIME OF DAY.

I'd be ashamed to be drug around by the nose hairs by the leftist media.

It's a bad idea for our government to side with Israel, that's not to say we should be against them. I believe the United States governments official policy with regards to Israel should be free trade, zero foreign aid, and a neutral stance on their situation. Same with all other countries on Earth. I personally support Israel, however.

You are talking zero foreign aid across the board right?

I mean Israel likes America , America is giving foreign aid to some countries that don't like us , some that even have terrorist organizations in the government.
