Israel is the opposite of compliant and despite massive aid, they steal, spy and cajole the US into conflicts and use their relationship with the US as leverage. Our return on Investment with Israel is miniscule in the good years and well into the negatives in the bad years (most of them).
Return on investment? Name a few countries who we give aid to that actually do sh*t for us in return.

Actually Egypt has beem America's most reliable asset in the region for 40 years
Why don't you ask Anwar Sadat how that worked out for him. I'm sure after that, none of the other nations leaders would THINK about peace with Israel, not that they were before Sadat was assassinated anyway.

You seem pretty stupid, so I will keep this brief.
Almost every country to whom we give aid abides our quid quo pro agreement. In the ME this includes Turkey, Lebanon and Egypt and many others to varying degrees. It does not include Israel. They act independently of American interests while cashing our checks, mostly because morons, such as yourself, haven't yet realized that Israeli interests have nothing in common with American interests. They hold all the leverage in the relationship.

Sadaat held power for around 11 years, then 8 days after his assassination, our man Hosni Mubarak maintained the entire Egyptian region for around 30 years, giving Egypt 40 continuous years of prosperity while also managing to avoid all out warfare with its regional rival Israel.
I would say the USGOV made a pretty good investment in both Sadaat and Mubarak.
