Fair enough, but you'll agree with me when I say if it wasn't for US support Israel would have been swallowed up by neighbouring states?
It's hard to make reliable predictions in an alternative universe, I wonder what's your reasoning behind the above statement.
My opinion is that your wrong though, here's why:
The USA support has started only past the Six day war (6DW) victory. Before that the major modern arms supplies to Israel were the french and whatever WW2 equipment we could buy from whoever we could buy it from. Most of the equipment Israel fielded in that war was not American produced or supplied. Take the Patton tank for example:
Israel made an application to the US in 1955 to purchase 60 M47 tanks and after the US refused, Israel applied again in 1958, this time to purchase 100 M47 tanks but the answer was the same.
In the early 1960's, Israel signed a deal with West Germany, for the purchasing of 150 M48A2. However, due to strong Arab nations opposition, out of the 150 tanks planned to be delivered, only 40 did Israel finally receive. Since West Germany didn't fully fulfill its obligations, the US had decided to supply the remaining 110 M48A2 tanks and to add another 100 M48 tanks. In 1965, Israel received 90 M48 tanks from the US and another 120 M48 tanks in 1966. At this time Israel had 250 M48 tanks, 150 of them M48A1 and 100 of them M48A2, all of these armed with a 90mm main gun.
Only 120 M48 tanks out of a total of 250 M48 were in combat readiness by the beginning of the war, and took part of it, mostly in the Sinai front against the Egyptian army. During the war Israel captured about 100 M48 and M48A1 from Jordan.
The air force, which was a concisive factor in this war was mainly French made: Dassault Mirage III, Dassault Super Mystère, Sud Aviation Vautour, Mystere IV, Dassault Ouragan and Nord 2501IS military cargo plane.
The Yom Kipur (YKW) was a tough war, and by then much more of the equipment was American made and supplied. However by then neither the Syrians not the Egyptians were trying to eliminate Israel but only to conquer and hold on to limited territory. It is also said that by then Israel possessed nuclear weapons to deter annihilation.
So would Israel's situation be worse without the USA support? sure. would it be fatal? I doubt that. Israel won it's Independence war, the 56' war and the 67' war with minimal if any USA support. In case the USA would not supply Israel by then there would have been others.
Also, selling weapons to a country doesn't mean automatically supporting it.
Not to mention the great boon the American received for their support of Israel in the YKW. I would not go into detail because I don't want to dive into historical arguments with Egyptians, but eventually it has changed Egypt's "side" to the USA from the USSR in the cold war. This was a major event in the region.
Ask americans who must pay the JEW banks 5000 billions dollars for the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan
Simple question, how is a war in Afghanistan beneficial for Jews?
Seems like some people fail to grow up and only substitute the monster under the bed with something else.
