By all means rely on the support of America to keep your country's sovereignty, but if you keep criticising the UK in this way, and word gets around, I'm sure you won't be able to rely on our help, such as it is.
Britain was mandated to ensure that that part of the Levant was returned to the Jewish people with the proviso that part of the land would remain an Arab state. This was done in an arbitrary manner by the Brits such as the Arabs were granted what was then known as Trans-Jordan in order that they received the most valuable land plus close association with the Suez canal. The Brits then bust a gut to prevent Jewish survivors from Europe accessing what was then the designated mini-Jewish portion.
Britain was only in it for what they could get. Eventually they were given such a pasting that they bailed out.
Rely on the UK help?
Better to rely on a cold day in hell.
As for securing the borders from aggression if ever our homeland was overwhelmed whoever succeeded better have a plan on what to do with a highly radioactive mass of Alamogordo glass - and let there be no doubt the last person to leave would salt the earth.
Israel is entirely self sufficient, it is the rest of the civilised world that is dependent on the fruits of the Jewish people, not the other way round.
