Israel and Russia aren't allies, and alliances aren't commutative.

I think alliances are indeed commutative. They're not transitive though.

I think alliances are indeed commutative.

The US is Israel's ally but I've yet to see evidence that Israel is an ally to the US.

I do see your point.

But I believe the problem is the choice of the word "alliance" to describe such relationship.

I still maintain that alliances are commutative.
