The arrangement is the exact opposite

When did the US do anything to hurt Israel?

Now do the same thought process for Israel...

Remember USS Liberty

Israel is the US' asset in the region. The UD props it up against nations seeking independent policies and it continues to serve in that capacity. There has been no impetus for the eventual betrayal as they have not outlived their purpose.

With an asset like that who needs enemies

As an ethnic supremacist apartheid settler colonist state genociding the indigenous population, Israel has a lot in common with the US and its history. It is, accordingly, not difficult to convince the US public to consent to everything Israel does. Maybe they feel bad about it, but ask them to do anything? Perish the thought!

Technically true, but our system serves money over the common good which allows Putin and Israel to put our politicians in their pocket through bribes, donations and lobbying.

The US does not support Israel due to legalized bribery. It sees an interest in Israel as a proxy for destabilization of any nations that choose policies in disagreement with US interests.

The idea of Russians owning US politicians is a fairy tale. There are real things to address, like your complicity in genocide.
