Why is "Israel our greatest ally"?

I'm not anti-Israel. I am just wondering why this phrase is repeated so often. What service do they provide to America in exchange for the financial and military support America provides them?
I fully support the state of Israel to protect their country and interests by any means necessary. If anything, America should get out of the way. But I also don't see the need for our involvement.

They aren't.
We are their ally, but they are not ours.
They spy on and steal from us more than any other country on the planet.
They have strong representation in our government (many of our politicians are every bit as loyal to Israel as they are to the United States) and they are a liberal democracy in the Middle East.
That's about it.

They aren't. They are our biggest parasite.

They're the best at paying off our politicians.

Marketing.
It's a very one sided relationship.
We give, they take.

B/c they help neutralize the Muslim threat

And they've very carefully crafted the narrative that anyone that questions this relationship is antisemitic.

No. They make Muslims even angrier at us.

Because we pay them.

You sound like a self hating Jew: It's always something we've done to make Muslims angrier at us for existing. Fly to Iran and let yourself be executed for being an infidel, and spare us more useless posts.

England is our greatest ally.
Israel is in a special position because if we turned our backs on them they would be persecuted by just about the entire world right quick. As long as the US isn’t okay with mass extermination, they are good.

When a U. S. politician visits a friendly nation, that nation is usually referred to in glowing terms, such as "our greatest ally."

It has to do with our partnership in our intelligence services. They’re practically interchangeable.

They aren’t.
It’s Zionist propaganda founded on the false doctrine of dispensationalism that many Christians adhere to.

We have a special relationship with the UK, for sure. But to call them our greatest ally is a stretch. As long as the UK was a member of the EU, they were off the rails after the Thatcher years. They haven't really improved since BREXIT.
Our closest actual ally is probably Poland at this point. Like Israel, they're under an existential threat from other nations that causes them to dispense with useless simp speak, they want to pay for more tanks, arty, etc.

We both don't like the brown people or the sand

They, along with the C.I.A. Created ISIS. They do not help neutralize that threat. They exacerbate it and exploit it.

They also caused the “Muslim threat”. There would literally be no Muslim threat without Israel.

Why the hell would any of us travel to Iran?
