They were our only ally in the Levant during the cold war. The other Arab states were USSR aligned. Not that they were a great ally, but political motivations at the time said we needed one.

With allies like these, who needs enemies?

They aren’t an ally now though. They screw with our politics and ignore anything they don’t want.
