Israel conducts a large amount of spying on the USA and exports a large volume of military tech to China, but for domestic political reasons the DoD likes to ignore them as a threat.
Israeli politicians campaign in the US. There’s a lot of mutual personal, commercial and government interests between the two countries that often are out of alignment with official positions.
France also has a complicated relationship and does more adversarial spying.
The USS Liberty incident is so often used as a boogeyman to make Israel seem overtly malicious to the USA. Often forgotten is that the day before the incident, the Israeli air force accidentally bombed one of their own infantry columns.
Any state based on racism and supremacist ideology and found and controlled by persons who were explicitly terrorists (likud descends directly from irgun etc) is a threat to not just the US but all of human kind...
But you can't really say that about Israel because they'll use the default antisemitism attack, alongside various dogwhistles to encourage harassment, until you are silenced.
