Ben Gourion was an Israeli was he not? As any of the millions of Jewish American(Aside from the Hasids) would say they are American first and only.We have no loyality to any Nation aside from the Blessed land we call the USA. Our feelings toward Israel are similar to all our Democratic Allies. Israel like Great Britain share a honored position in that list, for both nations stand shoulder to shoulder with Americans in facing our enemies. Remember when Saddam was shooting SCUDS into Israel, even though the IDF could have responded fiercly, they chose not to at the behest of the US. They chose to endure unprovoked attacks against civilians just to protect the American war effort and interests.
