Once thing is for sure. Israel would be a better ally than those Pakistani shits who pretended to be allies to the West. In a fight you wouldn't have to worry about Israel hiding and arming the enemy you're supposed to be fighting, while it also uses its military assets to launch terrorist attacks on neighbours not involved in the conflict.

Lebensraum? Andy, going Godwin on Jews is bad form.

Israel or the Arabs? Because outside of Egypt none of those countries have said they'd offer peace if Israel unilaterally retreated to the 1967 borders. As it stands if Israel retreats from, say, the Golan Heights, then the Syrians will just start shelling Israel again from their pre-1967 positions.
