You see ... that's the American Way ... we don't like to see free people attacked by tyrants ... we help them fight back. And if they can't fight back ... we do the job for them ... as we did in WWI ... WWII ... Korea ... Vietnam ... Grenada ... Kuwait.
Fortunately ... the 6 million Israelis are quite capable of kicking butt against hundreds of millions of their enemies ... so we've never had to do the fighting for them.
There ... that's the answer you were looking for.

Really? I can think of a number of other countries that couldnt find their way against worse tyrannies and bullies than the ones that Israel faces.
Why didnt we help the people of Cambodia against Pol Pot or there oppressive neighbors? All we did was bomb them.
Why didnt we help all of those eastern bloc countries in the fifties when all they had were rocks?
Why dont we help the palestinians whose land is being constantly encroached upon by...Israeli settlers????LOL
Why dont we help some of the neighbors to china?
Why is all of this money pouring into Israel?
Question still unanswered.
