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!
