US was not that crazy until 1980s. Israel was a friend of US. But US was not that crazy to defend it as if Israel owes US. US was not crazy enough to pour billions of dollars of economic & military aid every year, It wasn't crazy enough to jump into wars for Israel. Also, Islamic countries were more independent back then, they used to strongly oppose Israel back then, Even had enough balls to attack it collectively. Islamic countries used to had guts to say truth and were kinda independent. Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Jordan all those countries had a backbone and were able to oppose US/Israel. All of these are either destroyed now or converted into a puppet state with full control of US / Israel over them. I see total and constant decline in last 60 years or so of islamic countries, especially the ones in proximity of Israel. They can't do a damn thing when even israel commits a genocide. Its so depressing that instead of gaining strength, now the countries around it are in submission or made extremely weak. It was thought that after colonization era, all these countries will slowly progress, independent and powerful. and it did happened till 1980s. But after that its constant decline. We are witnessing total collapse, one state after another. Something really happened during that period, that Israel OR its lobby got a hold over United States. With the US support Israel trampled all over its neighborhood. Hope all these countries like Libya, Syria, Iraq will recover and gain strength and maybe able to become independent again.
