I'm sorry, but I have a long memory and I hold a grudge. Israel can go back to the Stone Age along with the rest of the Terrorists from the Middle Eastern Asia countries, as far as I'm concerned!
If one of my "buddies" started throwing rocks at my son's bike while he was riding down the street, busting-up the bike and putting my son in the hospital, I wouldn't care what that buddy's "reasons" were, I'd better not see that "buddy" ever again.
Then, if that same "buddy" stole items from my home, then claimed it was my fault because I didn't lock-up my house well enough,... Well, you get the picture.
On June 8, 1967, Israel launched
multiple attacks on the U.S.S. Liberty while it was in international waters, resulting in the 34 K.I.A.s and 173 W.I.A.s of U.S. Sailors. Richard Helms, Director of the CIA in 1967, stated (paraphrased) that there was no way Israel didn't and couldn't know that it was a U.S. Naval vessel. (

In the early 2000s, it came to light that an intelligence cell of the Israel government had been stealing U.S. Government secrets. Their response to the accusation: (again, paraphrased) Well, it's not stealing if the information we took had been mishandled prior to us taking it... (

If a government's military knowly and willingly takes American lives, that government's country should be an enemy until *many* years of butt-kissing and gift-giving have gone by (as Germany and Japan have done). (Strikes one, two, and three...) Then, if that same country steals secrets from the U.S. after amends are made for the previous action, all bets should be off, all alliances should be cut. (The batter just spit on the umpire and is being ejected from the game!)
Okay, sure, 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'. But what happens when the 'enemy of my enemy' acts like an enemy?
