With U.S. boots on the ground, the Israelis no longer have any justification for maintaining their highly provocative foreign policy based on superior military strength. Now they can rest confident that U.S. power will give them security, so they no longer need to maintain nuclear arms, no longer need to push us into a war with Iran, no longer need to colonize their neighbors. Israel can now be a good neighbor, share water resources, respect international boundaries, share Palestine with the Palestinians, safe behind the wall of U.S. troops.
Now we will find out if the regime in power in Israel truly wants peace or is just another bunch of bullies trying to build an empire. Now we will find out if alliance with Israel as currently ruled is compatible with U.S. national security and democracy or a threat with which the U.S. will have to deal. Now we will find out if the Israeli ruling elite shares American values and deserves American support...or not.
