A bit of a misrepresentation?

So, the U.S.'s implicit military backup didn't exist as some type of deterrent to invading Israel? How many billions of dollars of aid will Israel receive this year from the U.S.? How many has it received throughout the years? How much cut-rate weaponry, of an extremely advanced nature, have we provided Israel with over the years to allow them to maintain a strategic superiority throughout the region?

Israel may not have "needed" the U.S. to intervene militarily, but let's not for one single minute believe that they haven't exploited the U.S. relationship to their strategic betterment.
