US originally planned to take a neutral stance between the Arabs and Israel, and it was the Soviets who originally planed to support Israel. If that had been kept, US would
1, not being targeted as much by the terrorists, and likely no 911.
2, better relationship with the Arabs and Islamic world, and possibly more influences in the middle east as the result.
3, save a lot of money, which was sent to Israel as aids and to other countries like Egypt as bribes for them to recognize Israel.
4, more political capital could have been spent to counter Russia and China.
5, Israel might have to accept the two state solution.
While Israel is a key ally in the middle east, the truth is always that Israel needs US much more than the other way around. There would be plenty of Arab countries who would be eager to be an ally of US, if not for the special relationship with Israel.
