Israel is the only country in the Middle East that has the same respect for human rights that America does, so naturally they would be our closest ally there. America says that every baby born in America is entitled to American citizenship. Israel has no such law, and bestows no such right on infants born in territories that it runs or occupies. Instead, Israel says that the children of Jewish mothers, regardless of where they are born, are entitled to Israeli citizenship. So, no, Israel does not have the same respect for "human rights" as does America. For Israel, Jewish children have more rights than non-Jewish children. And the idea that American alliances are based on "respect for human rights" is silly. America is and should be allied with countries that advance America's interests. For example, the exiled Tibetan leadership may have greater respect for human rights than China-proper, but that doesn't make Tibet an American ally at the expense of China. The Israelis have problems with their neighbors, America should wish them well and hope that they solve their problems, and then leave them to handle themselves as they see fit.
