They’ve never been our ally in any meaningful way. They used nuclear blackmail against Nixon to bail themselves out when they lost the Yom Kippur war.

The people in general don’t, but corrupt politicians rely on AIPAC and other foreign influence pressure groups like it for both bribes and free demonization of any anti-genocide opponents they may encounter.
