Israel is a developed state in Western Asia located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan in the east, and Egypt on the southwest, and contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area. Also adjacent are the West Bank to the east and Gaza Strip to the southwest. Israel is the world's only predominantly Jewish state with a population of about 7.4 million people, of whom approximately 5.62 million are Jewish.
Following the birth of political Zionism in 1897 and the Balfour Declaration, the League of Nations granted the United Kingdom the British Mandate of Palestine after World War I, In November 1947 the United Nations decided on partition of Palestine into a Jewish state, an Arab state, and a UN-administered Jerusalem. Partition was accepted by Zionist leaders and lead to the 1947–1948 War. Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948 and neighboring Arab states attacked the next day.

Try as I might, I can't think of a single thing this "ally" has ever done for me, or any other American citizen, in my 57 years. Isn't an alliance a two-way street? Isn't it supposed to be mutually beneficial? Wadda I know.
