Israel is a client state of the US, not the other way around. The tail is not wagging the dog. The US funds Israel, and then Israel uses some of that money to ~~bribe~~ lobby US politicians. But US politicians were going to pursue imperialism in Western Asia regardless, because, Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.
