The U.S. and Israeli relationship

The unique US/Israeli relationship is not just a manifestation of a mutually beneficial political foreign policy alignment, nor is it simply a relationship based on mutually shared security interests or some other abstract idea.

The U.S./Israeli relationship is based on tangible political, social and religious values shared by both countries. The relationship, in anthropological terms, is a matter of shared knowledge, beliefs, and values. The U.S./Israeli relationship is based on a bedrock of shared culture, and more than anything else, this explains the deeply emotional ties between the two countries.
