#4 Israel is looking for a strong horse. Abandoned by the president and the vast majority of the Jewish electorate, Israel must seek out it's own route to survival. Machiavelli was right. Our "prince" has done everything wrong, not out of ignorance, but by intent.

#5 China conditioned Netanyahu's state visit on Israeli promise not to testify in trial

#7 Israeli weapons companies have some big contracts with the PRC. This is somewhat of a controversy in Israel as Israelis realize the PRC is not a nice country.

However, as others have implied, Israel has balanced the equities and figured that moving toward a strategic relationship with the PRC is the right move for now. About a year ago, a PRC fleet docked at Haifa's port area and about this same time some PRC universities began offering Israeli studies and hebrew language courses.

#8 Israel has not always been a good friend of the US. In the early days they were tight with France and to some extent the Soviet Union. No reason to expect things can't change again -- especially in the era of Hope & Change.

#9 Israel has not always been a good friend of the US.
