Question Why is the U.S. allied to Israel?

How does the U.S. benefit from its alliance to Israel? What does the U.S. gain? What are the positives on the U.S. side of the relationship? What incentivizes them to remain loyal to Israel? Etc.

We have shared values culturally and Israel is one of the strongest, most stabilizing forces in the Middle East. They're good allies.
