This "joke" implies an irrational US prejudice towards Israel, on
racial/ethnic grounds, and against the Arab states in the almost completely
Arab region. It ignores the simple fact that Israel has been a US satellite
for 55 years (and counting), which has benefitted the US's global interests
enormously. Israel has been a trusted and trustworthy ally to the US. If
Israel were situated less strategically, its existence as a Jewish state
would still interest the US, yes, though hardly to the extent that it has.
