Yemen is starting to be a democracy now.  Lebanon would be a democracy
if it weren't for the constant invasion, occupation, and civil war.
Shall we start supporting these two countries at the same rate we
support Israel?  Or should we reduce Israel's support to the levels we
give Lebanon and Yemen?

I don't understand what you mean when you say that Israel has been one
of the USA's most steadfast allies.  Do you mean that the US has, in
time of need, been able to go to Israel for help?  Do you mean that
Israel has done its best to do what the US wants it to do?  Please
explain.
