All great empires seek to administer Israel. Administering Israel is like a billionaire owning a yacht, or a football team.
Before America administered Israel, it was Britain. Before Britain did, it was the Ottoman Empire.
Empires also have status symbols and The Holy Land of Israel is the ultimate status symbol.
If Israel were anything more than an American Protectorate, it would be a theocracy, as it was meant to be, but it is not. Israel is a liberal democracy promoting neoconservatism, neoliberalism, feminism and globohomo.
If Israel were anything other than an American Protectorate, it would not be forced to be a liberal democracy, like the rest of the American Empire.

Late Republican Senator Jesse Helms used to call Israel "America's aircraft carrier in the Middle East", when explaining why the United States viewed Israel as such a strategic ally, saying that the military foothold in the region offered by the Jewish State alone justified the military aid that the United States grants Israel every year.

I heard Dr Israel Shahak MK say much the same things back in 1982. He held that in the long term Israel was doomed unless it reinvented itself as "just another Middle Eastern state - a kind of Jewish Lebanon". For this to happen, he reckoned that the USA had to stop the cheques.
