What are these allies giving us in return?
Muh intelligence!
Like how they stopped 9/11, or October 7th. They're the most advanced intelligence agency in the world, which is why neither of those attacks happened, why Israel isn't always getting missiles lobbed at them, and why they
desperately needare gracious enough to accept the US's never-ending "aid." They know it makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside to help them, so they let us feel useful, even though they're obviously strong and independent allies.Israel wouldn't have known anything about 9/11, because they were never the target. The CIA, NSA, and FBI did know, and only the NSA actually tried to do anything to bring it to people's attention.
As for intelligence sharing, there's a good god damned reason they are not in the FIVE EYES. And it's because they put their interest over ours.
But, how can an entity deemed too selfish to be trustworthy enough to have an intelligence sharing treaty be called our greatest ally and, when asked what they provide to the alliance, the answer is usually "unparalleled intelligence?"
That's my point. That's what is usually claimed they bring to the table; their intelligence network. Which can't be trusted to act in the US's interests.
Correct, it's bullshit. Again, France is a much better ally, and their intelligence was always conditional. It's as if we should strictly regulate Israeli influence in the US or something. Currently, the only people not allowed to have unfettered influence in the US is the Russian Federation.
I'm surprised to hear you admit this given how much interference you run for them.
However, I'd argue every nation in the FIVE EYES fits that description just as much as Israel. It'd be absolutely absurd for a country to prioritize another country's interests over its own...

You keep pretending that I'm your meta-narrative, and that's why you're wrong. Your meta-narrative is false.
And it's not true that the other country's have that definition. The FIVE EYES basically shows the dominance of the American hegemony. It's not so much that they share with us as it is intel we take from them. The other states are vassals.
Now, Canada and the UK shouldn't be our vassals, but Israel is simply too independent and uncooperative to be a vassal, let alone a staunch ally.
