From its beginning - when it took the US only 11 minutes to recognise Israel, through its difficult early years - the blossoming bond between Israel and the US has grown based on shared values and strategic goals.
This relationship has provided Israel with over $150bn in aid and military assistance and, in the process, changed the nature of Israeli society.
However, despite the obligatory expressions of support by politicians playing to their constituencies, the recent elections in both countries have them seemingly heading in opposite directions.

Israel and the US was shown on Al Jazeera from 25 February 2009.
