Of course even allied nations don't share everything. But in times of need when both benefit, say in the middle of the Cold War when Israel was fighting Soviet client states they certainly share a lot more than normal.

I am under no illusion about the relationship between the United States and Israel. They will not hesitate to stab us in the back when it suits them. I can understand why though as they are a small country whose very existance is far from a sure thing, they have to play dirty and frequently do. I just don't think the Liberty was one of those times.
