In a nutshell. External enemies, not internal enemies, are what we are arming israel to protect against.

They are surrounded by hostile, well armed, and hugely populated countries who would love to see them wiped out.

Some more than others, buy none would shed a tear if it fell and its people crushed.

That's why we ship arms and have a military aid treaty with them.
