I'm not so sure about that... there are many profitable investments and financial dealings (besides arms) between Europe and Israel, not to mention technology collaboration and more.

There are a lot more deals with China, but that doesn't stop europeans from following American orders.

Good point. Will we ever get to the stage of finding out if Europe will follow through in cutting-off Israel in the hypothetical world where there are able to shake-off American influence?

A dog doesn't fear Master's beatings so much as the dog fears abandonment, having no Master.

True, but then you are characterizing Europe 'as a Dog' - or more acurately - as America's bitch. It does seem that way... maybe America's bitch (Europe) might find a kinder master?

If dogs had such negotiable loyalties, a lot fewer jerks would have dogs.

Cats won't put up with that, probably because a cat can fend for itself and thus has options.
