This is a good point. US and Israel deliberately formed a joint suicide pact because it is in both of their interests. For Israel, it ensure the global superpower is always willing to cover for them and defend them. For the USA, it creates a colony that cannot revolt against them and a foothold in the region to exert power from. It's not a coincidence that the Zionist project chose Palestine, located on the Mediterranean Sea right next to the Suez Canal as its location. Israel made this clear during the so-called "Suez Crisis" where they invaded Egypt the moment western imperialist powers lost control of the canal and seized the canal. It is only the pressure of the USSR, and the quick thinking of Nasser to scuttle the canal that prevented this power grab and resulted in a ceasefire. The western imperialists eventually got their way anyway, with Egypt being retaken by their own cronies.
Israel is also located in a perfect position to splinter the middle east and control oil production, and the planned Greater Israel takes chunks out of every surrounding nation (Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Jordan and even Iraq). It is in a perfect geopolitical location to control the suez canal & a large part of the world's oil reserves. This is why they didn't decide to do their project in West Germany or the US, but in Palestine.
This is the eventual goal of the Zionists, Eretz Yisrael, from the Nile to the Euphrates (and beyond). You can start to see why their location is very strategic, even moreso than Turkey which is often described as in a very good geopolitical strategic location.
Liberal Zionists will call this "anti-semitic conspiracy theories" but it's not, hardline zionists are quite open with their intentions and openly broadcast them. They plan to dominate the arabs, push north until they eventually connect up with Kurds and Turks. They plan to cross the river Jordan. They plan to re-take Suez Canal.

Here's a Russian-Zionist hardliner crank's blog where they just give the whole speal right out in the open in 2003, peep how active the comments were this isn't just some tiny fringe.
Reaching these limits is a prescriptive commandment of the Torah. According to the list of Ramban, this is: “The fourth commandment. We are commanded to possess the land that G‑d gave to our forefathers - Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and not to leave it in the hands of foreigners, or completely uninhabited. As it is said: “And take possession of the land and settle in her, for I have given this land to you, to take possession of it.”

And it's not just cranks who are like this, this is the mainstream position of Likud and Ben-Givr and the Israeli right.
I dug more into this blog, and it's the rabbi Avraham Shmulevich who lives in Hebron, Israel (a settlement) and has a youtube channel in Russian.
All the rhetoric I've seen from the Israeli establishment is full of religious allusions, like some crusader battle speech. So many in the West talk about Israel like they are making rational choices but it really is based on this sort of shit.
Yes there were many reasons that the Middle East was chosen as the primary outpost for the current imperial system and the "first strike" by the US in the 21st century. The same article by Amin states that:
The project of the United States, supported to varying degrees by their subaltern allies in Europe and Japan, is to establish military control over the entire planet. With this prospect in mind, the Middle East was chosen as the “first strike” region for four reasons:
(1) it holds the most abundant petroleum resources in the world and its direct control by the armed forces of the United States would give Washington a privileged position, placing its allies—Europe and Japan—and possible rivals (China) in an uncomfortable position of dependence for their energy supplies;
(2) it is located at the crossroads of the Old World and makes it easier to put in place a permanent military threat against China, India, and Russia;
(3) the region is experiencing a moment of weakness and confusion that allows the aggressor to be assured of an easy victory, at least for the moment; and
(4) Israel’s presence in the region, Washington’s unconditional ally

The article is from 2007, so a lot has changed since then. But it is still relevant.
