Israel was not a country in WWII and was still in formation stage in Korea. It was dealing with major Arab threats during Vietnam and we weren't helping Israel all that much at that time either though we did start selling arms to Israel during the Johnson administration.
In all the Arab/Muslim hostilities, we have specifically asked Israel not to get involved because things being the way they are, every administration has known that Israeli involvement would have only escalated things and angered our Arab allies. And since Vietnam, some military involvement hasn't involved any other countries (Granada and Panama). Those that have included other nation involvement have all been Arab and/or Muslim countries.
Israel didn't start receiving US aid until the Johnson administration and the USA had not been warm toward Israel joining NATO for fear that would drive the Arab nations into the arms of a hostile USSR. The Kosovo War in 1998 and 1999 was an all NATO operation that was not sanctioned by the U.N.
Damn thems conniving, manipulating Joos for not joining us during the Revolutionary war, anyway!
