In brief, you have to distinguish between acting in the best interest of the US and acting in the best interest of the relevant power blocs within the US.
Israel can piss up and down the back of objective US interests in the region only as long as they keep being an asset to the American armaments industry and a number of corrupt political insiders. Furthermore, the cost of keeping those insiders on their payroll will go up exponentially if they manage to rile up a power bloc that actually matters, such as the Pentagon (the human rights lobby doesn't really count as a power bloc in DC).
