An exploration of the sometimes rocky relationship between the United States and Israel. Included: Harry Truman's early recognition of Israeli statehood in 1948 and his later refusal of much needed weaponry to Israel in their fight for independence against their Arab neighbors. Also: the United States role today as Israel's greatest ally, providing Israel with more foreign aid than any other country in U.S. history.
