Israel as a Strategic Liability?

America’s ties to Israel are not based primarily on U.S. strategic interests.

At the best of times, an Israeli government that pursues the path to peace provides some intelligence, some minor advances in military technology, and a potential source of stabilizing military power that could help Arab states like Jordan. 

美國與以色列的關係主要並非根基於美國的戰略利益。

在最美好的時代，追求和平的以色列政府提供某些情報、某些次要的先進軍事科技，以及在有潛在軍事力量協助如約旦這類阿拉伯國家時，提供穩定的力量。
