Rant all you like, but if you don't can't see that they're one of the few nations worth the name in the region and one of even fewer worthy of our support then you're already past the point of redemption anyway & trying to explain it to you would be wasted anyway.

You want to talk about realpolitik? Then why not start with the reality that the US/any non-Muslim nation will never be allowed to peacefully co-exist with the Muslim dominated nation-states? The Israeli's seem to have figured that out a lot better than most.
