Except for your point #2:

I have been amazed by the ability of AIPAC and other pro-Israel lobbying groups to shape U. S. foreign policy too many times to take what you suggest for granted. I would like to feel more certain our government would put United States' interests and needs ahead of Israel's in such a situation, but past experience of the Israeli lobby's leverage in Washington keeps me wondering.
