My conclusion is that Israel is not our "friend", whatever the hell that means. It is an aggressive powerful state willing to use that power without regard to any international norms. And it has irreparably corrupted our political systems to serve its own needs.
If the surveillance state has any purpose, keeping an eye on Israel should be a top priority.

It is useful for the anger of the middle east to be concentrated at Israel first, and the US bribes and strong arms Israel into this role.
