No. It has not. The U.S. was the first to recognize Israeli statehood. Then it sat on its thumbs, like most of the world, in the 1948 war, leaving Jews to fight the Arab invasion by themselves. Ditto 1967. Only in the 1970s did we make Israel an ally, and only then to help us fight Russia in the Cold War.

The 1967 war was won with French weaponry, the Mystere and Mirage warplanes in particular. The Czechs supplied the weaponry to fight the 1948 war.
Yessir, you're correct. The U.S. stood idly by in both wars.
