| [IsraelTimes] Another 4 in 10 describe Israel as partner with which US should cooperate; more support for Israel ties among Republicans, amid Biden-Netanyahu friction and US criticism of overhaul. Not bad, given all the Sturm und Drang about the increase of Jew hate popping up everywhere. Republicans (44%) are more likely than Democrats (25%) to call Israel an ally with shared values. About 2 in 10 Americans described Israel as either a US rival or an adversary.Overall, 61% of Americans disapprove of how Biden is handling the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict, with only 35% approving. That number was slightly lower than Biden’s overall approval rating. Many Americans don’t see a need for the US to change its position in the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict. About 4 in 10 Americans, or 44%, said the US gives about the right amount of support to Israel in the conflict, while 27% said it’s too supportive of Israel and 23% not supportive enough. About the same percentage, 42%, say the correct amount of support is given to the Paleostinians, with 30% saying they want more support and 21% wanting less. |

| #6 Back in the 90s and 2000s, I would agree. However, the Anti-American, anti-Jew attitude waned, the US is only in the Middle East in small numbers and the Abraham accords are bearing fruit. Israel doesn't need us and we don't need them like we did before. So Ally? No. Friendly nation along with others in the region? Yes. |

| #4 The problem is the use of the word "ally" rather than 'someone who we happen to share similar goals'. Alliances are creatures of need, and can be dissolved if goals shift. What we're seeing is someone has been shifting the goals. |
