Why the West supports Israel

Since its inception in 1948, Israel, against seemingly insurmountable odds, has evolved into the premier military force in the Middle East. Israel's success in a series of wars against its Arab neighbours, and later, against Palestinian liberation organisations, can be attributed in part to the strong friendships it has formed with Western powers. Chief amongst those allies were Britain and France, and now, the United States.
