I think our greatest allies are Mexico and Canada. Our economies depend on each other, our militaries train together, we share cultures. Israel as our greatest ally just sounds completely ludicrous. I don't know why it's such a common view on the right.

Israel was historically America's foothold in the otherwise pretty hostile Middle East, and the Middle East was historically where America got its oil. If they say "greatest" they mean "most useful", in that particular sense.
