Because of media sensitivity US doesn't get heavily involved in Israel's affairs. Remember Lebanon? Syria? Egypt? US sat on the side-lines preaching political correctness while Israel was whooping ass. US and UN kept asking for cease-fire and sanctions.
US needs Israel as much as Israel needs US. Both provide each other with very important services. Israel stabilizes the region without making US look bad and US gets to ship dollars to Arabs for oil. Israel still has one of the top intelligence gathering agencies in the world, and US needs that too. At the same time, Israel knows that no matter what happens, big brother US has it's back.
Obama bowing to anyone and everyone does seem pathetic to me. His apology-tour after taking office was one thing, but continuously showing submission to world leaders is unacceptable. It's not just a bow when you lower your eyes, it's not just a hand shake when you hunch your back over. He may mean it in the most respectful way, but on camera it looks cowardly. If r3v goes 50/50 on this subject, imagine how the world sees this.
