Scholars of the Israel-US relationship generally agree that these are special relations. Disagreements surround the question of when this relationship became special and what made it so. The debate took place between realists and idealists. Either way, the proponents of either school of thought approached the subject from the point of view of the state, studying the relationship between the two countries from a state-to-state perspective. With time, the trend had changed. Scholars endorsed a wider range of approaches and attitudes to the study of the relationship between the two countries. It was no longer only what ‘one clerk wrote to another clerk.’ Methods from various disciplines were applied to expand the scope of the study of the relationship, providing deeper and more nuanced explanations for the nature and meaning of the relationship between Israel and the United States.
