1967 solidified a quasi-colonial regional order tied to US alignment

Evidence

Since the 1967 war the region has fallen increasingly into a quasi-colonial condition and its predictable resistance. Israel is seen and comprehends itself rather as kindred spirit, one with America, sharing a supposedly common Judeo- Christian set of sensibilities, dispositions, and values, sometimes now characterized as a civilization in the way Herzl and his colleagues were wont to do over a century ago, and more recently a common set of regional interests. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 593
