Exactly. Only reason U.S. backed them cos US had to do exact opposite of whatever Russia was doing during the coldwar ie. Russia was backing Arabs.. so U.S. backed Israel.. the friendship since then remained til today (unfortunate for the rest of the world) otherwise, if Russia backed Israel instead, U.S. would be backing Palestine today.. well, on the other hand, if hat was the case, there would probably be no Israel existing today.
