What advantages does Israel present America?

i wont pretend to be an expert, but i can't really think of any.  Israel seems like a huge liability to the US.  That's not to say other countries are necessarily better, but at least they bring something to the table.  The discovery of the next energy revolution, for example, will probably be discoverered in part due to Saudi Arabian oil.

Meanwhile, the next mid-east conflict will probably involve Israel somehow.

nearly everyone in the countries you named does, in fact, hate us.
