From the perspective of America’s grand strategic interests and moral responsibilities, it is very much in this nation’s interest to maintain a strong alliance with Israel. Many disparate terrorist groups engage in frequent internecine bloodletting, but they all have in common a fierce hatred of both the U.S. and Israel. Terrorism is a grave national security threat to the U.S. and an existential one to Israel. Hence, the support of a stable Middle Eastern democracy that has reliably sided with the U.S. is crucial...
